EIF2AK4 mutations cause pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, a recessive form of pulmonary hypertension

Florent Soubrier and colleagues identify biallelic mutations in EIF2AK4 as a major cause of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, a rare form of pulmonary hypertension. EIF2AK4 encodes a serine-threonine kinase, and the disease-causing mutations are predicted to result in loss of protein function. Pulmo...
