A somatic missense mutation in GNAQ causes capillary malformation
18 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Capillary malformations, the most common type of vascular malformation, are caused by a somatic mosaic mutation in GNAQ, which encodes the Gαq subunit of heterotrimeric G-proteins. How the single amino acid change - predicted to activate Gαq - causes capillary malformations is not known but recent advances are helping to unravel the mechanisms. RECENT FINDINGS: The GNAQ R183Q mutation is...
