Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal-dominant bleeding disorder and has two variants, HHT1 and HHT2, associated with mutations in the ENG and ALK-1 genes, respectively. We identified one Chinese HHT2 family to investigate the pathogenic gene and its possible mechanism of action by mutation screening and functional study. One substitution mutation (1717C>T) in exon 10 of the ALK-1 was found...
