Mutations in the gene encoding endoglin have been linked to the human disease hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 1 (HHT1) a vascular disorder characterized by localized vascular dysplasia and a tendency towards arteriovenous malformations. Mice expressing a single CD105 allele develop external signs of disease similar to human HHT1, supporting the haploinsufficiency model for HHT1. Mice lacking endoglin die from defective angiogenesis characterized by failure of vascular smooth muscle investment of embryonic blood vessels, suggesting a defect in vascular smooth muscle cell development. Microvessel density (MVD) has been reported to be an independent prognostic indicator of outcome in a variety of human malignancies, with increased MVD correlating with shorter overall and relapse-free survival rates. The MVD counts using anti-CD105 antibody significantly correlated with overall and disease-free survival.
