A Novel CCM2 Gene Mutation Associated with Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformation. [PDF]
Background: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common vascular malformations that predominantly arise in the central nervous system and are mainly characterized by enlarged vascular cavities without intervening brain parenchyma. Familial CCMs (FCCMs) is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with incomplete penetrance and variable symptoms.

Exceptional aggressiveness of cerebral cavernous malformation disease associated with PDCD10 mutations. [PDF]
PurposeThe phenotypic manifestations of cerebral cavernous malformation disease caused by rare PDCD10 mutations have not been systematically examined, and a mechanistic link to Rho kinase-mediated hyperpermeability, a potential therapeutic target, has ...

The Role of Immune Infiltration and Oxidative Stress in the Progression of Cerebral Cavernous Malformation. [PDF]
Mechanism of rupture hemorrhage in cerebral cavernous malformations. Environmental and immune factors promote the progression of lesions and induce the risk of abnormal formation or rupture of cerebrovascular vessels. Abstract Purpose of Review To review how the immune microenvironment and oxidative stress modulate the initiation, maturation, and ...

A Case Report and Overview of Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Pathogenesis in an Adult Patient [PDF]
OBJECTIVE We present a case of a 39 year-old woman who presented with a solitary cavernous malformation hemorrhage without any other lesions, and subsequently presented several months later with a new hemorrhage from a de novo lesion.

Susceptibility-weighted imaging in familial cerebral cavernous malformations [PDF]
A 59-year-old man with a family history of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) presented with focal seizures. T2*-weighted gradient echo (GRE) images showed multiple lesions consistent with cavernous malformations (figure 1). Susceptibility-weighted images (SWI) detected nearly triple the number of lesions than were seen with the GRE sequence ...

Variable expression of cerebral cavernous malformation in carriers of a premature termination codon in exon 17 of the Krit1 gene [PDF]
Background Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) present as either sporadic or autosomal dominant conditions with incomplete penetrance of symptoms. Differences in genetic and environmental factors might be minimized among first-degree relatives.

Genetically diagnosed Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome and familial cerebral cavernous malformations in the same individual: a case report. [PDF]
When faced with an unusual clinical feature in a patient with a Mendelian disorder, the clinician may entertain the possibilities of either the feature representing a novel manifestation of that disorder or the co-existence of a different inherited ...

A Novel CCM2 Gene Mutation Associated With Cerebral Cavernous Malformation
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are the second most prevalent type of vascular malformation within the central nervous system. CCMs occur in two forms—sporadic and familial—the latter of which has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with ...
