📋Overview
Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, is a genetic disorder characterized by abnormal blood vessel formation leading to telangiectasias and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). These vascular abnormalities cause bleeding and shunting of blood, affecting multiple organs. HHT is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and involves mutations in genes related to blood vessel development.
