Gut microbiome has been linked to cavernous angioma (CA), a common vascular disease, but the role in humans remains unclear. Here, the authors combine 16S rRNA sequencing and shotgun metagenomics to profile the microbiome in a large cohort of human subjects with and without CA, and among subjects with different CA clinical features.
