Most of the patients are sporadic but in about 6% of cases the disease is familial (FPPH). In 2000 two different groups identified the gene predisposing to PPH. This gene, Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2), encodes a subunit of transforming growt... VO - IS - SP - OP - KW - lääketieteellinen genetiikka N1 - PP - ER -
