It is caused by inherited loss-of-function mutations in one of three genes,\n                      <jats:italic>ENG<\/jats:italic>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic>ACVRL1<\/jats:italic>\n                      or\n                      <jats:italic>SMAD4<\/jats:italic>\n                      .

Here, we investigate a large, aggressively growing craniofacial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) from an individual with juvenile polyposis-HHT caused by a germline mutation in\n                      <jats:italic>SMAD4<\/jats:italic>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We sequenced DNA from the AVM using a targeted gene sequencing panel to at least 1000X to identify somatic mutations that might contribute to the development of the AVM.
