Family cerebral cavernous malformations (FCCMs) are mainly inherited through the mutation of classical CCM genes, including CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2/MGC4607, and CCM3/PDCD10. FCCMs can cause severe clinical symptoms, including epileptic seizures, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), or functional neurological deficits (FNDs). In this study, we reported a novel mutation in KRIT1 accompanied by a NOTCH3 mutation in a Chinese family. This family consists of 8 members, 4 of whom had been diagnosed with CCMs using cerebral MRI (T1WI, T2WI, SWI). The proband (II-2) and her daughter (III-4) had intracerebral hemorrhage and refractory epilepsy, respectively. Based on whole-exome sequencing (WES) data and bioinformatics analysis from 4 patients with multiple CCMs and 2 normal first-degree relatives, a novel KRIT1 mutation, NG_012964.1 (NM_194456.1): c.1255-1G > T (splice-3), in intron 13 was considered a pathogenic gene in this family. Furthermore, based on 2 severe and 2 mild CCM patients, we found an SNV missense mutation, NG_009819.1 (NM_000435.2): c.1630C > T (p.R544C), in NOTCH3. Finally, the KRIT1 and NOTCH3 mutations were validated in 8 members using Sanger sequencing. This study revealed a novel KRIT1 mutation, NG_012964.1 (NM_194456.1): c.1255-1G > T (splice-3), in a Chinese CCM family, which had not been reported previously. Moreover, the NOTCH3 mutation NG_009819.1 (NM_000435.2): c.1630C > T (p.R544C) might be a second hit and associated with the progression of CCM lesions and severe clinical symptoms.
