- Abstract
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are relatively common in the central nervous system. They occur in two forms, sporadic and familial (FCCMs). Three genes are recognized to be associated with FCCM, including CCM1, CCM2, and CCM3, the latter also called PDCD10. In this article, we describe a single-nucleotide variant in the PDCD10 gene in a 23-year-old Polish female with CCM. The NM_007217.4 (PDCD10): c.395+1G>A variant destroys the canonical splice donor site following exon 6. This is the first reported genetically characterized case of CCM (FCCM) in Poland.
