Abstract
Venous malformations are the most common congenital vascular malformations, and the incidence rate is high. Previous studies have confirmed that a variety of polymorphisms within the miRNA functional region are associated with tumor susceptibility. We examined the correlation between miR-618 rs2682818 C>A and risk of developing venous malformation in a southern Chinese population (1113 patients and 1158 controls). TaqMan genotyping of miR-618 rs2682818 C>A was conducted utilizing real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. The miR-618 rs2682818 polymorphism was not correlated with susceptibility to venous malformation (CA/AA vs. CC: adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.00, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.81-1.25, p = 0.994; AA vs. CC/CA: AOR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.73-1.65, p = 0.646). Stratified analysis of different subtypes of venous malformation revealed that there was no significant difference in the rs2682818 C>A polymorphism genotypes across these subtypes. Our results indicate that miR-618 rs2682818 C>A polymorphism is not correlated with the susceptibility to venous malformation.

Abstract
This review is about my clinical and research journey in hand surgery. The journey has been a worthwhile and meaningful one, especially when I felt there were areas I could influence management, whether this be rare cases, common conditions or where a suggested algorithm may be helpful. I also had the unique privilege of working with geneticists, which has resulted in clinical-pathological publications that could influence patient management, as shared from a clinician's perspective. It is hoped this article will inspire young clinician scientists to pursue a journey of collaboration with other researchers.

J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2022; 93:jnnp-2022-328901. [PMID: 35477890 DOI: 10.1136/jnnp-2022-328901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
Somatic gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA), the catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), have been recently discovered in cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs), raising the possibility that the activation of PI3K pathways is a possible universal regulator of vascular morphogenesis. However, there have been contradicting data presented among various groups and studies. To enhance the current understanding of vascular anomalies, it is essential to explore this possible relationship between altered PI3K signalling pathways and its influence on the pathogenesis of CCMs. GOF PIK3CA-mutants have been linked to overgrowth syndromes, allowing this group of disorders, resulting from somatic activating mutations in PIK3CA, to be collectively named as PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum disorders. This paper reviews and attempts to conceptualise the relationships and differences among clinical presentations, genotypic and phenotypic correlations and possible coexistence of PIK3CA and CCM mutations/phenotypes in CCM lesions. Finally, we present a model reflecting our hypothetical understanding of CCM pathogenesis based on a systematic review and conceptualisation of data obtained from other studies.

NATURE CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH 2022; 1:246-252. [PMID: 35355835 PMCID: PMC8958845 DOI: 10.1038/s44161-022-00035-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are a neurovascular anomaly that may occur sporadically, or be inherited due to autosomal dominant mutations in KRIT1 , CCM2 , or PDCD10 . Individual lesions are caused by somatic mutations which have been identified in KRIT1, CCM2, PDCD10, MAP3K3, and PIK3CA . However, the interactions between mutations, and their relative contributions to sporadic versus familial cases remain unclear. We show that mutations in KRIT1, CCM2, PDCD10, and MAP3K3 are mutually exclusive, but may co-occur with mutations in PIK3CA. We also find that MAP3K3 mutations may cause sporadic, but not familial CCM. Furthermore, we find identical PIK3CA mutations in CCMs and adjacent developmental venous anomalies (DVA), a common vascular malformation frequently found in the vicinity of sporadic CCMs. However, somatic mutations in MAP3K3 are found only in the CCM. This suggests that sporadic CCMs are derived from cells of the DVA which have acquired an additional mutation in MAP3K3 .

A Review of Multiple Venous Malformations of the Upper Limb: Classification, Genetics, and Pathogenesis. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2021; 9:e3391. [PMID: 33564600 PMCID: PMC7861650 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000003391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Venous (cavernous) malformations are commonly seen in the upper limb. There is no consensus in the literature regarding the classification of venous malformations. Patients may be viewed as 2 clinical entities: patients with single or multiple lesions. Single venous malformations are sporadic and nonsyndromic, whereas the presence of multiple malformations indicates the presence of either an inherited or an overgrowth (noninherited) disorder. In this article, the author reviews multiple venous malformations of the upper limb, offers a novel classification, and describes their clinical entities along with their genetics and pathogenesis. These clinical entities will also be described by categorizing the cases as per the clinical presentation. Furthermore, the number of cases seen by the author (during an experience of 28 years of practice in Saudi Arabia) in each category will be reviewed to give the reader an overall view of the frequency of presentation of each category to the hand/plastic surgery clinic. Clinically, patients may present in 4 different presentations depending on the distribution of the lesions: the late-onset malformations confined to the upper limb; malformations involving the limbs/face/trunk with no mucosal lesions; widespread malformations of the skin, oral mucosa, and the intestine; and venous malformations presenting as a well-known syndrome. The author has seen a total of 84 patients, and the most 2 common presentations were late-onset type (n = 26) and malformations involving the limbs/face/trunk with no mucosal lesions (n = 36). This is the most comprehensive review of multiple venous malformations of the upper limb.
