Moreover, the Gln127*-mutant SOX17 protein exhibited no inhibitory effect on the function of CTNNB1-encode β-catenin, which is a key player in vascular morphogenesis. This research firstly links SOX17 loss-of-function mutation to familial PAH, which provides novel insight into the molecular pathogenesis of PAH, suggesting potential implications for genetic and prognostic risk evaluation as well as personalized prophylaxis of the family members affected with PAH.This study aimed to identify the serum copeptin levels in patients diagnosed with unstable angina (UA) and evaluate the relationship between the patients' copeptin levels and angiographic severity.A total of 200 patients who were diagnosed with UA and underwent coronary angiography were included in the study. Clinical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, and laboratory data (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and copeptin levels) as well as The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) 1.0 risk score were recorded upon admission. Moreover, the Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score was calculated following coronary angiography.We isolated and defined two subgroups within our study population group 1 included patients with non-significant coronary artery disease (CAD) ( less then 50% diameter stenosis, n = 105); group 2 included patients with significant CAD (≥ 50% diameter stenosis, n = 95). The number of cases with a GRACE score higher than 140 was significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1 (P less then 0.001). The SYNTAX scores and copeptin levels were significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1 (P less then 0.001 for both). A positive correlation was observed between the copeptin levels and SYNTAX sc
