BACKGROUND: The phenotype of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients carrying SOX17 pathogenic variants remains mostly unknown.
METHODS: We report the genetic analysis findings, characteristics and outcomes of patients with heritable PAH carrying SOX17 variants from the French Pulmonary Hypertension Network.
RESULTS: 20 patients and eight unaffected relatives were identified. The median (range) age at diagnosis was 17 (2-53) years, with a female:male ratio of 1.5. At diagnosis, most of the patients (74%) were in New York Heart Association Functional Class III or IV with severe haemodynamic compromise, including a median pulmonary vascular resistance of 14.0 (4.2-31.5) WU. An associated congenital heart disease (CHD) was found in seven PAH patients (35%). Patients with CHD-associated PAH were significantly younger at diagnosis than PAH patients without CHD. Four patients (20%) suffered from recurrent haemoptysis requiring repeated arterial embolisations. 13 out of 16 patients (81%) for whom imaging was available displayed chest computed tomography abnormalities, including dilated, tortuous pulmonary vessels, ground-glass opacities as well as anomalies of the bronchial and nonbronchial arteries. After a median (range) follow-up of 47 (1-591) months, 10 patients underwent lung transplantation and one patient benefited from a heart-lung transplantation due to associated CHD. Histopathological analysis of lung explants showed a congested lung architecture with severe pulmonary arterial remodelling, subpleural vessel dilation and numerous haemorrhagic foci.
CONCLUSIONS: PAH due to SOX17 pathogenic variants is a severe phenotype, frequently associated with CHD, haemoptysis and radiological abnormalities. Pathological assessment reveals severe pulmonary arterial remodelling and malformations affecting pulmonary vessels and thoracic systemic arteries.
