Cerebral Cavernous Malformation: From Genetics to Pharmacotherapy. [PDF]
CCM1, CCM2, CCM3, MAP3K3, and PIK3CA genes mediate CCM pathogenesis by regulating the RhoA–ROCK, MAP3K3–KLF2/4, and PIK3CA–AKT–mTOR pathways, affecting processes such as cell migration, intercellular junctions, cell proliferation, inflammation, autophagy, EndMT, angiogenesis, and oxidative stress.

A Novel CCM2 Missense Variant Caused Cerebral Cavernous Malformations in a Chinese Family
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common vascular malformations in the central nervous system. Familial CCMs (FCCMs) are autosomal dominant inherited disease with incomplete penetrance and variable symptoms.

Mechanism for KRIT1 Release of ICAP1-Mediated Suppression of Integrin Activation [PDF]
KRIT1 (Krev/Rap1 Interaction Trapped-1) mutations are observed in ∼40% of autosomal-dominant cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs), a disease occurring in up to 0.5% of the population. We show that KRIT1 functions as a switch for β1 integrin activation by antagonizing ICAP1 (Integrin Cytoplasmic Associated Protein-1)-mediated modulation of "inside ...

Next-Generation Sequencing Advances the Genetic Diagnosis of Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM)
Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM) is a cerebrovascular disease of genetic origin that predisposes to seizures, focal neurological deficits and fatal intracerebral hemorrhage. It may occur sporadically or in familial forms, segregating as an autosomal

A novel CCM2 variant in a family with non-progressive cognitive complaints and cerebral microbleeds [PDF]
Lobar cerebral microbleeds are most often sporadic and associated with Alzheimer's disease. The aim of our study was to identify the underlying genetic defect in a family with cognitive complaints and multiple lobar microbleeds and a positive family ...

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 ...

Identification of the Kelch family protein Nd1-L as a novel molecular interactor of KRIT1.
Loss-of-function mutations of the KRIT1 gene (CCM1) have been associated with the Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM) disease, which is characterized by serious alterations of brain capillary architecture.
