Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify the disease-causing gene in a four-generation Chinese family with 9 members affected with primary congenital lymphoedema (PCL, also known as Milroy disease). METHODS: Linkage analysis was performed with a few microsatellite markers flanking the candidate genetic loci for PCL, including 3 known genes associated with autosomal dominant PCL. For mutation analysis, VEGFR3 gene was sequenced...
