Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) derived from lymphatic malformations (LMs) bear activated PIK3CA alleles yet display an inflammatory gene expression profile. A basis for the inflammatory phenotype was sought by screening for coexisting somatic mutations. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fourteen independent LEC populations bearing activated PIK3CA alleles were isolated from LM. These were characterized by the...
