Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a form of intracranial vascular disease that may arise sporadically or be dominantly inherited. Linkage studies have revealed genetic heterogeneity among the dominantly inherited forms suggesting the existence of at least three loci called CCM1, CCM2 and CCM3. METHODS: In the present study, we screened five families with dominantly inherited CCM for CCM1 gene...
