Sex‐limited penetrance of lymphedema to females with CELSR1 haploinsufficiency: A second family
12 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
A second multigeneration family with hereditary lymphedema (LE) secondary to a variant in the planar polarity gene, CELSR1, is described. Dominant inheritance of the variant was discovered using whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. In contrast to heterozygous males, all heterozygous females showed LE during physical examination albeit variable in severity and age of onset. Lymphscintigraphy...
