Abstract excerpt
Cerebral cavernous malformations are common vascular anomalies in the CNS that predispose individuals to seizures and haemorrhagic stroke. Familial forms are linked to germline loss-of-function mutations in CCM1-3, and sporadic lesions frequently harbour somatic gain-of-function mutations in MAP3K3 and PIK3CA. However, the mechanisms by which these somatic mutations drive lesion development remain incompletely...
