Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Milroy-like disease is the diagnostic definition used for patients with phenotypes that resemble classic Milroy disease (MD) but are negative to genetic testing for FLT4. In this study, we aimed at performing a genetic characterization and biochemical analysis of VEGF-C variations found in a female proband born with congenital edema consistent with Milroy-like disease. METHODS: The proband underwent...
