Notes
From SNPedia
Notes
Also known as c.1754G>A (p.Arg585Gln), this rare mutation in the EIF2AK4 gene is reported in ClinVar as leading to - when inherited recessively - rare forms of pulmonary hypertension, specifically, pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) and pulmonary venoocclusive disease (PVOD).
A;A
See EIF2AK4 for discussion of this rare, recessively inherited type of pulmonary hypertension disease.
A;G
Unaffected carrier of a recessive mutation leading to pulmonary venoocclusive disease; see EIF2AK4 for discussion.
