Clinical Description OMIM Cerebral arteriovenous malformations are considered to be distinct from cerebral cavernous malformations (116860), which are venous and usually arteriographically 'silent' (Rigamonti, 1993).

Snead et al. (1979) reported cerebral arteriovenous malformations in 3 sibs with the same ...

Molecular genetics OMIM Among 180 patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVM), Pawlikowska et al. (2004) found an association between a promoter polymorphism in the IL6 gene (-174G/C; 147620.0001) and intracranial hemorrhage. Patients who were homozygous for the G allele had an ...
