BNP was first discovered in pig brain tissue but was later found more abundant in the heart (Mukoyama et al. 1991; Mukoyama et al. 1990). The human gene that encodes for BNP is called NPPB (GeneID 4879) and is located on chromosome 1 at 1p36.2. In mice, NPPb is found on chromosome 4. [3]

[14] In screening for congenital heart disease in pediatric patients, an NT-proBNP cut-off value of 91 pg/mL could differentiate an acyanotic heart disease (ACNHD) patient from a healthy patient with a sensitivity of 84% and specificity of 42%.
