It is unknown whether this signal of positive selection results from the MERS-CoV progenitor, from another DPP4-utilizing bat coronavirus, such as BtCoV-HKU4, or from a noncoronavirus that also utilizes DPP4.

plexogenic

Wiener-Kronish's case showed plexogenic pulmonary angiopathy and positive immunofluorescent staining for IgG, C₃ and C1q in the lung (1981). […] Although the aetiology of plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy is unknown, most evidences indicate a vasospastic origin of the disease (Wagenvoort CA and Wagenvoort N 1970).
