FIGURE 2

Cumulative mortality curve for all affected BMPR2 mutation carriers in the Vanderbilt familial pulmonary arterial hypertension research registry, represented as the percentage of all subjects by sex (▲: females; □: males) deceased at a given age. There is a statistically significant difference in the per cent mortality by age between the two groups prior to age 18 yrs (shaded; p=0.031). The difference in per cent mortality between males and females prior to age 18 yrs reflects a lower prevalence among females in childhood compared with males.
