Genetic testing for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant vascular dysplasia characterized by telangiectases and arteriovenous malformations. These lesions cause bleeding, particularly in the nose, gastrointestinal tract and brain. HHT has incomplete penetrance, variable expressivity and...

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant vascular dysplasia characterized by telangiectases and arteriovenous malformations.

De novo mutations associated with the onset of sporadic HHT have been reported. This Utility Gene Test was prepared on the basis of an analysis of the literature and existing diagnostic protocols.
