Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that somatic phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphospate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) mutations would be found in patients with more common disorders including isolated lymphatic malformation (LM) and Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS). STUDY DESIGN: We used next generation sequencing, droplet digital polymerase chain reaction, and single molecule molecular inversion probes...
