Arteriovenous malformation from a patient with JP-HHT harbours two second-hit somatic DNA alterations in SMAD4
12 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an inherited disorder of vascular malformations. It is caused by inherited loss-of-function mutations in one of three genes, ENG , ACVRL1 or SMAD4 . We recently showed that HHT-associated vascular malformations from liver, lung, brain and skin develop via a two-hit genetic mechanism resulting from biallelic loss-of-function mutations in either ENG or...
