Gene discovered for primary pulmonary hy...( ld receive earlier and more aggressive ...)

ld receive earlier and more aggressive therapy in an attempt to delay the age of onset and prolong survival. Identification of these genes will also help researchers to understand the basic cause of PPH and to unravel the pathways involved its development. This, in turn, will lead to improved treatments, and hopefully a cure, for both the familial and sporadic forms of this disorder.
