Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant vascular disease. and gene variants account for up to 96% of all cases, while the remaining cases are caused by or variants, or by currently undiscovered mutations in coding or non-coding regions. Here, we report a 47-year-old man who presented with duodenal bulb bleeding and chronic anemia. Physical examination also revealed bleeding from the skin and gingiva. His parents were cousins and one brother and one sister died in infancy from anemia and bleeding. Head computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed a complete fetal posterior cerebral artery located in the left side, and pulmonary CTA showed pulmonary arterial hypertension. The patient was diagnosed with HHT. Peripheral blood was collected for whole-exome sequencing. Sequencing revealed a mutation in the gene, which encodes bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9). The detected variant, c.352A > T(p.Ile118Phe), was predicted to be a neutral polymorphism; however, the patient's plasma BMP-9 levels were greatly reduced; we predicted that this might be caused by the variant and might be involved in the HHT pathogenesis. Further research in cell lines and animal models is needed to verify the correlation between this variant and the pathogenesis of HHT.
