Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) is a newly recognized autosomal dominant disorder, caused by mutations in the RASA1 gene six families. Here we report 42 novel and associated phenotype 44 The penetrance de novo occurrence were high. All affected individuals presented multifocal capillary malformations (CMs), which represent hallmark of disorder. Importantly, one-third had fast-flow vascular lesions. Among them, observed severe intracranial AVMs, including vein Galen...

Objective: To determine which venous malformations (VMs) are at risk for coagulopathy.Venous slow-flow vascular present birth, and localized intravascular coagulopathy (LIC) causes pain thrombosis within a lesion severe bleeding during surgical procedures.Design: Prospective convenience sample accrued from 2 multidisciplinary sites in Brussels, Belgium, Caen, France. Participants:The study population comprised 140 patients with clinical data coagulation parameters.Magnetic resonance imaging...

Capillary malformation–arteriovenous malformation (CM–AVM) is an autosomal-dominant disorder, caused by heterozygous RASA1 mutations, and manifesting multifocal CMs high risk for fast-flow lesions. A limited number of patients have been reported, raising the question phenotypic borders. We identified new with a clinical diagnosis CM–AVM, overlapping phenotypes. was screened in 261 index with: CM–AVM (n = 100), common CM(s) (port-wine stain; n Sturge–Weber syndrome 37), or isolated AVM(s)...

Most arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are localized and occur sporadically. However, they also can be multifocal in autosomal-dominant disorders, such as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia capillary malformation (CM)-AVM. Previously, we identified RASA1 mutations 50% of patients with CM-AVM. Herein studied non-RASA1 to further elucidate the pathogenicity CMs AVMs.We conducted a genome-wide linkage study on CM-AVM family. Whole-exome sequencing was performed 9 unrelated families. We...

Venous malformations (VMs) are composed of ectatic veins with scarce smooth muscle cell coverage. Activating mutations in the endothelial tyrosine kinase receptor TIE2 a common cause these lesions. VMs deformity, pain, and local intravascular coagulopathy, they expand time. Targeted pharmacological therapies not available for this condition. Here, we generated model by injecting HUVECs expressing most frequent VM-causing mutation, TIE2-L914F, into immune-deficient mice. TIE2-L914F-expressing...

Extensive and complex vascular malformations often cause chronic pain severe functional restraint. Conventional treatments, such as surgery and/or sclerotherapy, are rarely curative, underscoring the great need for new therapeutic modalities. Recent preclinical clinical data demonstrated that sirolimus could offset progression of significantly improve quality life patients through inhibition Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian Target Rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. The purpose this...
