Rare Disease Surveys & Studies
Various HHT related research studies take place throughout the year. You or a family member may be interested in furthering the advancement of HHT research by participating in one or all of the research surveys or studies listed below.
Please note that the listed surveys and studies are not necessarily conducted or overseen by Cure HHT, but are beneficial to HHT or rare disease research.
Current Surveys and Studies
Suffer from brain AVMs? You can help further HHT research today
Cure HHT, along with HHT Centers of Excellence across North America, are now actively recruiting HHT patients worldwide to participate in the NIH funded study, entitled “Cerebral Hemorrhage Risk in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)”. The goal of this research is to determine what genetic and clinical factors signal high risk for hemorrhage from brain AVMs.…

Become a Tissue Donor
Duke University, through a separate BVMC project, is collecting vascular malformations (VMs) associated with HHT to search for somatic mutations, possibly occurring in different genes than the ones already identified. All HHT patients undergoing surgery to remove an AVM from any organ (i.e., liver, lung, brain, skin, etc.), are encouraged to consider donating tissue. You do not need to have a brain AVM to participate in this study project.

No-Cost Genetic Testing for HHT & Other Rare Diseases
The Rare Genomes Project is a patient-driven research project through the Broad Institute that performs full genome sequencing on families with suspected singe gene disorders who do not have a genetic diagnosis. The goal of their project is two-fold: (1) provide access to testing for families that are genetically undiagnosed and (2) discover previously un-identified…

NARRATE Study: Rare Disease Survey
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is conducting a research study aimed at identifying needs among communities affected by rare disease with hopes of bridging existing communication gaps between rare disease patients, families, and physicians. Adult parents and patients living with rare diseases are invited to participate in an online survey.
