Genetic basis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is well recognised but still rarely utilized in diagnostics setting. Diagnostic yield of comprehensive multi-gene panels in PAH is relatively unknown as current knowledge is gathered from studies evaluating only one gene at a time in a heterogenous patient populations. Finnish PAH…
