Description

The endoglin gene (ENG) and the activin A receptor, type II-like 1 gene (ACVRL1) are most commonly associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Mutations in these genes occur in about 80% of individuals with HHT. ENG and ACVRL1 encode for membrane glycoproteins involved in transforming growth factor-beta signaling related to vascular integrity. Mutations in ENG are associated with HHT type 1 (HHT1), a condition with a higher incidence of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, whereas ACVRL1 mutations occur in HHT type 2 (HHT2), a condition with a higher incidence of hepatic arteriovenous malformations. The majority of mutations in ENG and ACVRL1 are point mutations, which are identified by sequencing with a detection rate of approximately 60% to 80% of mutations involved in HHT. Approximately 10% of ENG and ACVRL1 mutations are large genomic deletions and duplications, which are detectable by methods such as multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA).
