Purpose Of Review: To provide a comprehensive overview of the underlying genetic defects of pulmonary (vascular) diseases and novel treatment avenues.
Recent Findings: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is the prime example of a pulmonary vascular disease, which can be caused by genetic mutations in some patients. Germline mutations in the BMPR2 gene and further genes lead to vessel remodelling, increase of pulmonary vascular resistance and onset of heritable PAH.
