Examining genes in families affected by hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

Official title: Molecular Studies on Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia Families With Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations

Run by Imperial College London · NCT00230620 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is trying to find out which genes are linked to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia by looking at the DNA of family members who have and don’t have the condition.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are individuals who are members of families affected by hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are not part of a family with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia or who cannot provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a genetic condition characterized by abnormal blood vessel formation. By sequencing DNA from both affected and unaffected family members, the study aims to identify genes that contribute to the disease. The findings will help pinpoint specific DNA variants responsible for HHT, which may be linked to functional assays in other research. This approach could enhance understanding of the genetic basis of HHT and inform future therapeutic strategies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved genetic understanding and management of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies examining genetic factors in hereditary conditions have shown success, indicating that this approach is promising.
