    Prostacyclin infusion for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an effective therapy with varied dosing requirements and clinical response. The major aim of this study was to determine new biologically-based predictors of prostacyclin treatment response heterogeneity. Ninety-eight patients with hemodynamically defined PAH at two academic medical centers volunteered for registry studies. A stable dose of treprostinil was the quantitative phenotype for the genome-wide association study (GWAS). Candidate genes with the largest effect sizes and strongest statistical associations were further characterized with in silico and in-vitro assays to confirm mechanistic hypotheses. The clinical significance of these candidate predictors was assessed for mechanistically consistent physiologic effect
