A dual role for Tbx1 in cardiac lymphangiogenesis through genetic interaction with Vegfr3

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The transcription factor TBX1 is the major gene implicated in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS). The complex clinical phenotype includes vascular anomalies and a recent report presented new cases of primary lymphedema in 22q11.2DS patients. We have previously shown that TBX1 is required for systemic lymphatic vessel development in prenatal mice and it is critical for their survival postnatally. Using...
