Somatic gain-of-function mutations in PIK3CA in patients with macrodactyly

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used whole-exome sequencing to identify somatic mutations present in the affected nerve of a single patient, and confirmed a novel mutation in PIK3CA (R115P) present in a patient's affected nerve tissue but not in blood DNA.
