Abstract excerpt
The hereditary lymphedemas provide an opportunity to identify genes involved in normal and deranged lymphatic development. Genetic analysis of families with Milroy's disease identified mutations in VEGFR3 as a cause of congenital lymphedema, confirming the importance of VEGFC/VEGFR3 signaling in lymphatic development. These observations led to the identification of a mouse model for primary lymphedema, and...
