Association analysis of melanocortin 3 receptor polymorphisms with the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The cardinal symptom of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is dyspnea on exertion, leading to decreased activity in daily living. The aim of this study was to analyze daily physical activity in incident patients with arterial or chronic thromboembolic PH (PAH/CTEPH) and to investigate its correlation with pulmona...
