Cloning of the Promoter Region of Human Endoglin, the Target Gene for Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Type 1
15 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Endoglin (CD105) is a cell surface component of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) receptor complex highly expressed by endothelial cells. Mutations in the endoglin gene are responsible for the hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 1 (HHT1), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome (OMIM 187300). This is an autosomal dominant vascular disorder probably caused by a haploinsufficiency mechanism...
