Abstract excerpt
Lymphedema-dissociated syndrome (LDS), of which the pathogenesis is not fully understood, afflicts many patients. In this study, we investigated the effect of FOXC2 gene loss-of-function on the development of LDS disease. Two Han Chinese families with LDS were recruited in this study, pathogenic mutations were identified by Sanger sequencing. Reverse-transcription PCR, subcellular localization, dual fluorescein...
