Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multisystemic vascular dysplasia and recurrent hemorrhage. One of the causative genes is the activin receptor-like kinase-1 (ALK-1) gene located on chromosome 12q13. ALK-1 is an endothelial cell type I rec

Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multisystemic vascular dysplasia and recurrent hemorrhage from the sites of vascular lesions. Two genes have been identified for HHT. Endoglin, a TGF-b binding protein which maps to chromosome 9q3, is the
At least three different gene loci were recently shown to account for the long QT syndrome (LQTS), a monogenic disorder with altered myocardial repolarization and occurrence of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. We screened 44 unrelated probands for mutations of the gene encoding the cardiac pota
Familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (hypoPP) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by episodic attacks of paralysis of varying severity. Recently, linkage was found to markers in 1q31-32 and to the gene encoding the muscle DHP-sensitive calcium channel β£ 1-subunit (CACNL1A3). Subsequen
