Entrez Id: 94
Gene Symbol: ACVRL1
ACVRL1
0.010 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Genetic causes of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) have been identified, leading to a growing need for genetic counselling.Between 2003 and 2014, genetic counselling was offered to 529 PAH and 100 PVOD patients at the French Referral Centre for Pulmonary Hypertension.Mutations in PAH-predisposing genes were identified in 72 patients presenting as sporadic PAH (17% of cases; 62 mutations in BMPR2, nine in ACVRL1 (ALK1) and one in ENG) and in 94 patients with a PAH family history (89% of cases; 89 mutations in BMPR2, three in ACVRL1 (ALK1) and two in KCNK3). 26699722 2016
Entrez Id: 2078
Gene Symbol: ERG
ERG
0.010 Biomarker disease BEFREE Our results suggest that ERG and APLNR are essential for endothelial homeostasis in venules in the lung and that perturbation in ERG-APLNR signaling is crucial for the development of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. 25062690 2014
Entrez Id: 187
Gene Symbol: APLNR
APLNR
0.010 Biomarker disease BEFREE Our results suggest that ERG and APLNR are essential for endothelial homeostasis in venules in the lung and that perturbation in ERG-APLNR signaling is crucial for the development of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. 25062690 2014
Entrez Id: 3357
Gene Symbol: HTR2B
HTR2B
0.010 Biomarker disease BEFREE We investigated the expression and role of the 5-HT transporter (5-HTT) and 5-HT1B, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2B receptors in lungs and isolated PA-SMCs from patients with primary PH (n=14), pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (n=4), or secondary PH (SPH, n=8) and nonpulmonary hypertensive control subjects. 15059929 2004
Entrez Id: 6532
Gene Symbol: SLC6A4
SLC6A4
0.010 AlteredExpression disease LHGDN The increased growth response of PA-SMCs from patients with primary PH, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, or SPH to 5-HT or serum was entirely attributable to 5-HTT overexpression, because 5-HTT inhibitors but not 5-HT receptor antagonists abolished 5-HT mitogenic activity and reduced the serum-induced growth response to similar levels in patients as in controls. 15059929 2004
