	Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HHT is characterised by telangiectasia (small vascular malformations) on the skin and mucosal linings, epistaxis (nosebleeds), and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in various internal organs.
		When HHT is suspected, physical examination focuses on inspecting the whole skin for teleangiectasias, auscultation of the lungs and neurological examination.
		Juvenile polyposis/hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome is caused by mutations in the gene SMAD4

		Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is a disorder that results in the development of multiple abnormalities in the blood vessels.
		Juvenile polyposis/hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome is a condition that involves both arteriovenous malformations and a tendency to develop growths (polyps) in the gastrointestinal tract.

		HHT is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by focal abnormalities in vascular architecture that often manifests with bleeding from these vascular lesions.
		This necessitates the development of HHT "centers of excellence," where screening and intervention for all of the organs involved can be performed in one location by a team that is familiar with the disorder.

		Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder of vascular dysplasia.
		Analysis of affected families suggests that HHT caused by endoglin gene mutations may be associated with a higher prevalence of pulmonary AVMs.
		Telangectasias may be the presenting sign of HHT and identification of these lesions in a characteristic distribution or in association with epistaxis or positive family history dictates further work up for HHT including pulmonary angiography and MRA of the head.

		Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Rendu-Osler-Weber disease) is a hereditary disorder in which blood vessels are malformed, making them fragile and prone to bleeding.
		Blood vessels under the skin may break and bleed, causing small, red-to-violet discolorations, especially on the face, lips, lining of the mouth and nose, and tips of the fingers and toes.
		Bleeding almost always recurs, resulting in iron deficiency anemia; consequently, people with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia need to take iron supplements.
