Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is a genetic disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in components of the bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathway, leading to arteriovenous malformations. Most prior work has treated BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) component depletion as mechanistically interchangeable, yet whether distinct genes converge on a shared mechanism remains unclear. We aimed...
