Comment when marking as ready: Associated with phenotype in OMIM and as a confirmed Developmental Disorder Gene / G2P. At least 4 variants reported. Phenotype not relevant to this panel according to expert reviewer Claire Shovlin (Imperial College London)Created: 13 Dec 2016, 2:36 p.m.
The blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome caused by TEK (Tie-2) pathogenic variants (PMID: 27519652) is clinically distinct to the syndrome of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia which is commonly associated with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is occasionally associated with pulmonary hypertension, but to the best of my knowledge, has not to date been shown to be associated with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.Created: 13 Nov 2016, 11:28 p.m.
