Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in genes encoding members of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) superfamily are causal for two hereditary vascular disorders, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). When the two diseases coexist, activin A receptor type II-like kinase-1 (ACVRL1) gene mutations are usually identified. We report a...
