Comprehensive analysis of Novel mutations in CCM1/KRIT1 and CCM2/MGC4607 and their clinical implications in Cerebral Cavernous malformations

Abstract

Cerebral Cavernous Malformations (CCM) is a genetic disease characterized by vascular abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord, affecting 0.4-0.5 % of the population. We identified two novel pathogenic mutations, CCM1/KRIT1 c.811delT (p.Trp271GlyfsTer5) and CCM2/MGC4607 c.613_614insGG p.Glu205GlyfsTer31), which disrupt crucial protein domains and potentially alter disease progression.
