Abstract excerpt
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an inherited disorder of vascular malformations characterized by mucocutaneous telangiectases and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in internal organs. HHT is caused by inheritance of a loss of function mutation in one of three genes. Although individuals with HHT are haploinsufficient for one of these genes throughout their entire body, rather than exhibiting a...
