Abstract excerpt
Somatic activating mutations in the GNAQ have been recently associated with several congenital genetic disorders and tumors; however, the molecular mechanism/etiology that leads to GNAQ somatic mosaic mutation are unknown. Here, we reported a case of Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) manifesting cutaneous vascular malformations (hemifacial Port-wine stain), cerebral and ocular vascular abnormalities (including epilepsy...
