This study reports the first case of isolated pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) linked to a BMPR2 gene variant, expanding the known genetic causes of PAVMs beyond hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Genetics
- Pulmonology
Background:
- Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are rare vascular anomalies.
- PAVMs are frequently associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is also linked to genetic factors.
