Somatic MAP3K3 and PIK3CA mutations in sporadic cerebral and spinal cord cavernous malformations

Cavernous malformations affecting the CNS occur in ∼0.16-0.4% of the general population. The majority (85%) of cavernous malformations are in a sporadic form, but the genetic background of sporadic cavernous malformations remains enigmatic. Of the 81 patients, 73 (90.1%) patients were detected carry...

Zusammenfassung:Cavernous malformations affecting the CNS occur in ∼0.16-0.4% of the general population. The majority (85%) of cavernous malformations are in a sporadic form, but the genetic background of sporadic cavernous malformations remains enigmatic. Of the 81 patients, 73 (90.1%) patients were detected carrying somatic missense variants in two genes: MAP3K3 and PIK3CA by whole-exome sequencing. The mutation spectrum correlated with lesion size (P = 0.001), anatomical distribution (P
