Why might ENG matter in a family with frequent nosebleeds?

ENG makes endoglin, which helps developing blood vessels respond to growth signals. Certain disease-causing variants cause hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, so a confirmed finding can be relevant when nosebleeds accompany a matching personal or family history.
