Definition

Primary pulmonary hypertension-6 (PPH6) is characterized by markedly elevated pulmonary arterial hypertension, associated with reduced oxygen saturation and diffuse ground-glass opacities on chest x-ray. Lung biopsy shows thickening of the alveolar septae and abnormally proliferating capillaries (Postma et al., 2023). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of primary pulmonary hypertension, see PPH1 (178600). [from OMIM]
