Lesions lips, patient with hemorrhagic hereditary telangiectasia. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler–Weber–Rendu disease and Osler–Weber–Rendu syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder that leads to abnormal blood vessel formation in the skin, mucous membranes, and often in organs such as the lungs, liver, and brain.

AVMs are more common in males than females, although in females pregnancy may start or worsen symptoms due to the increase in blood flow and volume it usually brings. [31] There is a significant preponderance (15–20%) of AVM in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler–Weber–Rendu syndrome). [6]
In contrast, loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in SMAD4 predispose individuals to gastrointestinal polyps, a higher risk of colorectal cancer, and a risk of forming arteriovenous malformations (AVM) a hallmark manifestation of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). [8] Patients also have external phenotypes similar to Marfan syndrome. [9]
AVMs may occur in isolation or as a part of another disease (for example, Sturge-Weber syndrome or hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia). [22] AVMs have been shown to be associated with aortic stenosis. [23] Bleeding from an AVM can be relatively mild or devastating. It can cause severe and less often fatal strokes. [1]
Ataxia–telangiectasia (AT or A–T), also referred to as ataxia–telangiectasia syndrome or Louis–Bar syndrome, [1] is a rare, neurodegenerative disease causing severe disability. Ataxia refers to poor coordination and telangiectasia to small dilated blood vessels, both of which are hallmarks of the disease. [2] A–T affects many parts of ...
Seventy-four percent were using Suboxone to ease withdrawal symptoms while sixty-four percent were using it because they couldn’t afford drug treatment. The researchers noted: “Common reasons given for not being currently enrolled in a buprenorphine/naloxone program included cost and unavailability of prescribing physicians.”
