Summary of Seattle Children’s Hospital Research Program

In some children, the CCM is caused by gene changes (variants) that can be passed down in families. Seattle Children’s neurologists and geneticists work together to diagnose familial CCM. Identifying the precise genetic cause of a child’s CCM may expand their treatment options.

Second Opinions at Seattle Children’s Hospital

If you would like an appointment or second opinion from the Cerebral Cavernous Malformation team at Seattle Children’s, ask your child’s primary care provider for a referral.
