Diagnostic, Predisposing evidence:
Diagnostic: The study identifies RASA1 mutations as the cause of capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM), indicating that these mutations are used to define and confirm the clinical diagnosis of the disorder. The mention of screening RASA1 in patients with specific phenotypes further supports its role as a diagnostic marker for CM-AVM.
Predisposing: The abstract describes CM-AVM as an autosomal-dominant disorder caused by heterozygous RASA1 mutations, which implies that these mutations confer inherited risk for developing the disease. The classification of the disorder as autosomal-dominant suggests a germline origin of the RASA1 mutations involved.
