Extract
With great interest we read the article “T-box protein 4 mutation causing pulmonary arterial hypertension and lung disease” by Maurac et al. [1]. The authors elegantly demonstrated a case of a female TBX4 mutation carrier presenting with adult-onset pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in combination with bronchial and pulmonary parenchymal abnormalities which could be related to this mutation [1].
Abstract
A single-centre case series of adult subjects with a TBX4 mutation, in whom two distinctive findings on HRCT (i.e. tracheal and bronchial diverticulosis; irregular bronchial walls) were observed http://bit.ly/2v3s7HE
