Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the ankyrin repeat containing (KRIT1) gene, located a chromosome 7q21-q22, which encodes for a protein that is involved in the formation of blood vessels during embryo development. Mutations at this locus have been identified in many patients with cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM), also known as familial cavernous angioma.
