dHaving a variant of unknown significance in the ACVRL1 gene, means that we found a mutation but we do not know if it is a disease causing mutation or just a polymorphic variant. The conclusion for this patient is that the patient has HHT based on the clinical Curaçao criteria, but we cannot say for sure she has HHT type two
