Abstract:
Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a heterogeneous multisystemic dysplasia of the vascular tissue. This autosomal dominant inherited disorder shows a wide variation in its phenotypic expression. Between 8 and 78% of the HHT patients show arteriovenous malformations of the liver. The molecular basis for hepatic manifestation is still unknown. Two genes are known to play a major role in the development of HHT: activin A receptor type II-like 1 gene (ACVRL1) and ENG. Previously, we and...     »
