Large study aims to predict brain bleeds in rare HHT disorder
NCT ID NCT01158807
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at over 2,200 people with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a rare condition that causes abnormal blood vessels. The goal was to find out what makes some people with HHT more likely to have a brain bleed. Researchers collected health information, blood samples, and genetic data to better understand these risks and improve future care.
