uAUG creating variants in the 5’UTR of ENG causing Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare, autosomal dominant, vascular disorder. About 80% of cases are caused by pathogenic variants in ACVRL1 (also known as ALK1) and ENG, with the remaining cases being unexplained. We identified two variants, c.-79C>T and c.-68G>A, in the 5'UTR of ENG in two unrelated patients. They create upstream AUGs at the origin of upstream overlapping open reading frames...
