Abstract:
Sarcoidosis is a pleomorphic disease that can present with pulmonary hypertension (PH). What little information is available about the association of these two diseases comes mainly from small series of patients scheduled for transplant. We present 4 cases of mild pulmonary involvement in whom right catheterisation was performed and PH-specific therapy was administered. After obtaining written consent, a genetic study was performed that showed mutations in PH-related genes in 3 of the patients. This is the first study of its kind to yield genetic information for this type of PH.
