New, non-invasive neuroradiological techniques [computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR)] have led to reassessment of the incidence of cavernous angioma of the brain (CCA), which is sometimes multiple and associated with cavernomas in other organs. CCA is known to be familial, with domin

## Abstract In a kindred of 122 individuals we found 5 individuals with cerebral vascular malformation, 3 representing typical cavernous angiomas. The condition was inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expressivity. Fortyβthree relatives were examined prospectively by cranial comp
but may instead be related to inheritance of other genes on chromosome 6 that encode for class I molecules, proteins involved in antigen processing, complement components, or tumor necrosis factor. These findings emphasize the importance of genetic influences in MS families with an inordinately incr
Truncating mutations in CCM1, encoding KRIT1, cause hereditary cavernous angiomas, 1 and 65% of non-Hispanic American families have been linked to CCM1 with no founder effects. 2 The common mutation, 742C3 T transition, recently described in 16 of 21 families, 3 supports the previously described str
## Abstract Cavernous vascular malformations may affect brain and outβofβbrain tissues. In most cases, cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) involve the brain alone, and are rarely associated with skin hemangiomas, spinal cord, retinal, hepatic or vertebral lesions. CCMs can cause seizures, intra
