Afect one in 5000-8000 individual in worldwide. HHT may produce important morbidity like brain absces, stroke, hemoptisis and cronic ferropenic anemia.

Molecular mechanism of this disorder are complex and still no fully dilucidated. The genes mutated in HHT encode endothelial cell-expressed proteins that mediate signalling by the transforming growth factor (TGF)b superfamily. Endoglin (HHT type I) and ACVRL-1 (HHT type 2) mutations are responsible in more than 80% of the individuals. Mutation of SMAD 4 protein (MADH4)cause HHT in association with juvenile polyposis.
