Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Examine screening modalities for pulmonary vascular arteriovenous malformation PAVM in individuals with endoglin mutations

II Examine the prevalence of cerebral arteriovenous malformations CAVM in individuals with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia HHT

III Investigate whether modifier genes exist that determine which individuals with HHT due to an endoglin mutation develop PAVMs and which develop CAVMs

IV Investigate the frequency of cardiac valve abnormalities in individuals affected with HHT due to an endoglin mutations
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE Patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia HHT undergo 5 different screening methods to determine which method is most effective in detecting arteriovenous malformations AVM Patients may participate in more than one screening method

In part 1 patients undergo 3 different screening techniques eg pulse oximetry spiral computed tomography CT and contrast echocardiography to detect pulmonary arteriovenous malformations PAVM

Patients in part 2 undergo magnetic resonance imaging MRI using gadolinium as the contrasting agent for AVM in the brain known as cerebral arteriovenous malformations CAVM For pregnant women this procedure may only take place if there is clinical evidence that suggests CAVM

In part 3 Doppler ultrasound is used to screen for hepatic arteriovenous malformations HAVM The abdomen of each patient is viewed to detect AVM in the liver

Patients in part 4 undergo echocardiograms as the screening method used to determine common heart valve abnormalities

In part 5 blood samples are drawn from patients and analyzed to locate modifier genes as a possibility in determining severity of HHT
