High impact information on CCM2

  • Deletions in CCM2 Are a Common Cause of Cerebral Cavernous Malformations [1].
  • In our cohort, mutation screening that included sequence and deletion analyses gave disease-gene frequencies of 40% for CCM1, 38% for CCM2, 6% for CCM3, and 16% with no mutation detected [1].
  • A common 77.6-kb deletion spanning CCM2 exons 2-10 was identified, which is present in 13% of our entire CCM cohort [1].
  • Haplotype analysis revealed that this CCM2 deletion occurred independently at least twice in our families [1].
  • We first reduced the size of the CCM2 interval from 22 cM to 7.5 cM by genetic linkage analysis [2].
 

Biological context of CCM2

  • CCM loci have already been assigned to chromosomes 7q (CCM1), 7p (CCM2), and 3q (CCM3) and have been identified in 40%, 20%, and 40%, respectively, of families with CCM [2].
  • A familial CCM2 missense mutation abrogates the CCM1/CCM2 interaction, suggesting that loss of this interaction may be critical in CCM pathogenesis [3].
  • Here, we use co-immunoprecipitation, fluorescence resonance energy transfer and subcellular localization strategies to show that the CCM1 gene product, KRIT1, interacts with the CCM2 gene product, malcavernin/OSM [3].
  • Subsequently, we generated CCM2-specific polyclonal antibodies and tested their specificity using transient transfection experiments in various cell lines [4].
  • Multilocus analysis yields a maximum lod score of 14.11, with 40% of kindreds linked to CCM1, 20% linked to CCM2 and 40% linked to CCM3, with highly significant evidence for linkage to three loci (linkage to three loci supported with an odds ratio of 2.6 x 10(5):1 over linkage to two loci and 1.6 x 10(9):1 over linkage to one locus) [5].
