Primary intraosseous venous malformation is a rare, genetic vascular anomaly characterized by severe blood vessel expansion (most frequently within the craniofacial bones) with painless bone enlargement (usually of mandibule, maxilla and/or orbital, nasal, and frontal bones), typically resulting in facial asymmetry and contour deformation. Midline abnormalities, such as diastasis recti, supraumbilical raphe, and hiatus hernia, are commonly associated. Additional features reported include gingival bleeding, ectopic tooth eruption, exophthalmos, loss of vision, nausea, and vomiting.
Features include always present findings: Diastasis recti, Supraumbilical raphe, Ectopic tooth eruption, and Pale red blood cells (hypochromic anemia) and others; and very common findings: Visual loss, Elevated circulating alkaline phosphatase concentration, Umbilical hernia, and Proptosis. 11 total HPO annotations.

ELMO2 encodes engulfment and cell motility 2 (720 aa). Involved in cytoskeletal rearrangements required for phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and cell motility. Acts in association with DOCK1 and CRK. Highest expression in Brain Cerebellum (83.1 TPM) and Brain Cerebellar Hemisphere (81.9 TPM).
Primary intraosseous venous malformation is associated with mutations in the ELMO2 gene on chromosome 20.
ELMO2 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for ELMO2 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for primary intraosseous venous malformation has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 6 always present features, 4 very common features, 1 common feature.
