Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Germline mutations of either the endothelial cell-specific tyrosine kinase receptor TIE2 or the glomulin (GLMN) gene are responsible for rare inherited venous malformations. Both genes affect the hepatocyte growth factor receptor c-Met, inducing vascular smooth muscle cell migration. Germline mutations of hepatocyte growth factor are responsible for lymphatic malformations, leading to lymphedema. The...
