Journal ArticleDOI

Mosaic RAS/MAPK variants cause sporadic vascular malformations which respond to targeted therapy

TL;DR: These findings uncover a major cause of sporadic VMs of different clinical types and thereby offer the potential of personalized medical treatment by repurposing existing licensed cancer therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipedema: an inherited condition.

TL;DR: It is proposed that lipedema is a genetic condition with either X‐linked dominant inheritance or more likely, autosomal dominant inheritance with sex limitation, and appears to be a condition almost exclusively affecting females, presumably estrogen‐requiring as it usually manifests at puberty.
Journal ArticleDOI

The lymphatic phenotype in Noonan and Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome

TL;DR: This work describes 11 patients with Noonan or CFC syndrome with significant, persistent and progressive lymphatic dysplasia, and demonstrates reflux and/or rerouting of lymphatic drainage associated with incompetent veins on the venous duplex scans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lymph vessels: the forgotten second circulation in health and disease

TL;DR: This work has shown that immune markers that recognize lymphatic endothelium antigens, such as podoplanin, LYVE-1 and Prox-1, can be successfully applied in diagnostic pathology and have revealed (at least partial) lymphatic differentiation in many types of vascular lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The lymphatic phenotype in Turner syndrome: an evaluation of nineteen patients and literature review.

TL;DR: The lymphoscintigraphy results suggest that the lymphatic phenotype of Turner syndrome may be due to a failure of initial lymphatic (capillary) function.
