Abstract excerpt
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are congenital vascular anomalies of the central nervous system that can result in seizures, haemorrhage, recurrent headaches and focal neurologic deficit. CCMs can occur as an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance and a wide phenotypic variability. The genes responsible for this disease are KRIT1/CCM1 on chromosome 7q21.2, MGC4607/CCM2 on chromosome 7p15-p13...
