Abstract excerpt
The megalencephaly capillary malformation syndrome (MCAP, OMIM 602501) is known to be associated with mosaic mutations in PIK3CA occurring during embryogenesis. Standard sequencing technologies are relatively poor at indentifying sequence changes that only affect a small percentage of cells, and the mutations are frequently not identified in lymphocyte DNA, with biopsies of the affected tissues often being...
