One idiopathic PAH case had a missense that resulted in severe G6PD deficiency and another case had a missense associated with a 20% decrease in G6PD function. Inhibition of G6PD activity with a potent G6PD inhibitor, decreased haematopoietic stem cells in hypoxic mice, causing pulmonary hypertension.
