Expression Analysis of Four Endoglin Missense Mutations Suggests That Haploinsufficiency Is the Predominant Mechanism for Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Type 1
1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
ENDOGLIN codes for a homodimeric membrane glycoprotein that interacts with receptors for members of the TGF-beta superfamily and is the gene mutated in the autosomal dominant vascular disorder hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 1 (HHT1). We recently demonstrated that functional endoglin was expressed at half levels on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and peripheral blood activated monocytes...
