Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A somatic mutation in GNAQ (c.548G>A; p.R183Q), encoding Gαq, has been found in syndromic and sporadic capillary malformation tissue. However, the specific cell type containing the mutation is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine which cells in capillary malformations have the GNAQ mutation. METHODS: Human capillary malformation tissue was obtained from 13 patients during a clinically...
