RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mutations in the gene encoding bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) are the most common genetic risk factors underlying pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, the features of PAH-related BMPR2 rare variants remain unclear. We propose that the discrepancy of BMPR2 rare variants landscape between patients with PAH and reference population would be important to address the genetic background of PAH-related variants. METHODS: We genotyped BMPR2 rare variants in 670 Chinese patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The BMPR2 rare variants were screened in 10,508 reference people from two exome databases. RESULTS: The prevalence of rare BMPR2 variants in patients with PAH was significantly higher compared to the reference population (21.5%, 144/670 vs 0.87%, 91/10508, p = 1.3 × 10-118). In patients with PAH, 49% of identified BMPR2 rare variants were loss-of-function or splicing. These BMPR2 rare variants were only observed in 1% of the reference population (p = 9.0 × 10-12). Arg491, which is absent in the reference population, represented as hot-spot site (14.6%, 21/144) in PAH patients. BMPR2 missense mutations in PAH patients were more likely distributed in extracellular ligand-binding domain (ECD, 29.7% vs 11.1%, p < 0.001). Compared with Non-PAH-related variations, PAH-related missense variants tend to alter the amino acid electric status (51.4% vs 23.3%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: BMPR2 variants located in extracellular ligand-binding domain or altered the amino acid electric status are more pathogenic.
