Offering Genetic Testing & Counseling For Families With Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangectasia (HHT)
The 人妻中出视频 of Utah 人妻中出视频 HHT Center offers comprehensive genetic counseling and testing for HHT families. HHT is caused by a mutation in one of multiple genes. Although each HHT family has its own private HHT-causing gene mutation鈥攖he exact same mutation always causes HHT within a given family. If a particular family鈥檚 gene mutation is determined, this can be helpful for two reasons:
- The genetic subtypes of HHT have some clinical differences; knowing these can be helpful when making medical screening recommendations for an HHT patient or family.
- It allows for the possibility of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal diagnosis, and/or diagnostic testing for HHT on a blood sample at or soon after birth for members of an HHT family.
Researchers at U of U 人妻中出视频 HHT center are actively working to better understand the multiple genes that give rise to HHT.
