Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
163000 | OMIM | Capillary malformations, congenital (CMC) | A form of vascular malformations that are present from birth, tend to grow with the individual, do not regress spontaneously, and show normal rates of endothelial cell turnover. Capillary malformations are distinct from capillary hemangiomas, which are highly proliferative lesions that appear shortly after birth and show rapid growth, slow involution, and endothelial hypercellularity. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
185300 | OMIM | Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) | A syndrome characterized by an intracranial vascular anomaly, leptomeningeal angiomatosis, most often involving the occipital and posterior parietal lobes. The most common features are facial cutaneous vascular malformations (port-wine stains), seizures, and glaucoma. Stasis results in ischemia underlying the leptomeningeal angiomatosis, leading to calcification and laminar cortical necrosis. The clinical course is highly variable and some children experience intractable seizures, mental retardation, and recurrent stroke-like episodes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
