Abstract excerpt
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by aberrant vascular development. Mutations in two genes, endoglin (ENG) and activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ACVRL1) are associated with HHT. The present case study revealed the molecular diagnosis in a family exhibiting the clinical features of HHT disease. The coding exon and flanking intronic regions of the ENG and...
