NCT00230633

Brief Summary

Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT, also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome) is an inherited vascular disease that leads to the development of dilated and fragile blood vessels. The study goal is to culture white blood cells that express the proteins mutated in HHT and examine in the laboratory to explain aspects of the HHT disease phenotype.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proteins and cellular markers related to coagulation

    Not specified at outset. Blood samples will be collected over the recruitment period, usually on a single day. Analyses of biomarkers relate to the SAME DAY, within 24hs, though will be evaluated over subsequent months, on average completing in 1-5 years.

    on average completing each biomarker study in 1-5 years

Study Arms (2)

Patients with HHT

People with molecularly confirmed HHT. No intervention, blood sample only

Controls

People without HHT No intervention, blood sample only
