Abstract

Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome is a rare type of vascular malformation first described in 2003. It is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that has been reported in association with heterozygous mutations in the RASA1 gene, which encodes the protein RASp21. The clinical picture is characterized by multiple small capillary malformations which are associated with either arteriovenous malformations or arteriovenous fistulas in both the affected individual and other members of their family. We describe 2 new familial cases of this syndrome that were clinically and genetically diagnosed and studied in our hospital.
