Abstract excerpt
Lateralized/segmental overgrowth disorders (LOs) encompass a heterogeneous group of congenital conditions with excessive body tissue growth. Documented molecular alterations in LOs mostly consist of somatic variants in genes of the PI3KCA/AKT/mTOR pathway or of chromosome band 11p15.5 imprinted region anomalies. In some cases, somatic pathogenic variants in genes of the RAS/MAPK pathway have been reported. We...
