• Abstract Genetic testing is poised to play a greater role in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Physicians who manage PAH should know the heritable PAH phenotypes, inheritance patterns, and responsible genes. They also should know indications, potential risks and benefits, and the issues surrounding genetic counselling and testing for patients with PAH.
