Background Information for Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (ACVRL1 and ENG) Sequencing Characteristics: Recurrent nosebleeds, telangiectases (mouth, face, hands, GI tract), arteriovenous malformations (lung, brain, liver, spine). Incidence: 1:5,000-10,000 Inheritance: Autosomal dominant Penetrance: Approaches 100 percent by age 40. Cause: Pathogenic variants in the endoglin (ENG), activin A receptor type II-like 1 (ACVRL1 or ALK1), SMAD4 or other unidentified gene(s). Clinical Sensitivity: Approximately 75 percent Methodology: Bidirectional sequencing of the coding regions and intron-exon boundaries of ENG and ACVRL1, the 5' untranslated region of ENG, and a region of ACVRL1 intron 9 encompassing the CT-rich variant hotspot region. Analytic Sensitivity and Specificity: 99 percent Limitations: Diagnostic errors can occur due to rare sequence variations. Regulatory region and intronic mutations, large deletions/duplications, and mutations in genes other than ENG and ACVRL1 will not be detected.
