Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are the second most prevalent type of vascular malformation within the central nervous system. CCMs occur in two forms-sporadic and familial-the latter of which has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with incomplete penetrance and variable clinical expressivity. There are three genes considered to be associated with CCMs,-, which codes for KRIT1 protein; , which codes for MGC4607 protein; and , which codes for PDCD10 protein. To date, more than 74 gene mutations of CCM2 have been reported, and ~45% are deletion mutations. In this article, we disclose a novel genetic variant (c.755delC, p.S252fs40X) identified in a Chinese family to enrich the database of CCM2 genotypes.
