To identify mutations that cause hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT, or Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome), clinical evaluations and genetic studies were performed on 32 families. Linkage studies in four of eight families indicated an endoglin (ENG) gene mutation. ENG sequences of affected members of the four linked families and probands from the 24 small families were screened for mutations, by Southern blot analyses and by cycle sequencing of PCR-amplified DNA. Seven novel mutations were iden ...[more]
