Case Report: BMPR2-Targeted MinION Sequencing as a Tool for Genetic Analysis in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Background: Mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 gene (BMPR2) represent a major genetic cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Identification of BMPR2 mutations is crucial for the genetic diagnosis of PAH. MinION nanopore sequencer is a portable third-generation techn...
