Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia, or Osler-Rendu-Weber (ORW) syndrome, is an autosomal dominant vascular dysplasia. So far, two loci have been demonstrated for ORW. Linkage studies established an ORW locus at chromosome 9q3; endoglin was subsequently identified as the ORW1 gene. A second locus, designated ORW2, was mapped to chromosome 12. Here we report a new 4 cM interval for ORW2 that does not overlap...
