Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a hamartomatous vascular disease affecting the central nervous system. A fraction of CCM are thought to arise in association with genomic mutations in the cerebral cavernous malformation 1 (CCM1) (KRIT1), CCM2 (MGC4607), and CCM3 (PDCD10) genes. In the pre...
