Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an autosomal dominant cancer syndrome. Affected individuals are predisposed to multiple tumors, primarily of the central nervous system (CNS), eyes, adrenals, and kidneys. The VHL tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 3p26-25 is partially or completely deleted in 20
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) may cause recurrent headaches, seizures, and hemorrhagic stroke and have been associated with loss-offunction mutations in CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2, and CCM3/programmed cell death 10 (PDCD10). The CCM3/PDCD10 amino acid sequence does not reveal significant homologies
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are prevalent cerebrovascular lesions predisposing to chronic headaches, epilepsy, and hemorrhagic stroke. Using a combination of direct sequencing and MLPA analyses, we identified 15 novel and eight previously published CCM1 (KRIT1), CCM2, and CCM3 (PDCD10) mu
