Abstract excerpt
Disorganized morphogenesis of arteries, veins, capillaries, and lymphatic vessels results in vascular malformations. Most individuals with isolated vascular malformations have postzygotic (mosaic), activating pathogenic variants in a handful of oncogenes within the PI3K-RAS-MAPK pathway (Padia et al., Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol 4: 170-173 [2019]). Activating pathogenic variants in the gene PIK3CA, which...
