Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Rare, deleterious genetic variants in FLT4 are associated with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. The distinct genetic variants in FLT4 are also an established cause of Milroy disease, the most prevalent form of primary hereditary lymphoedema. The phenotypic features of these two conditions are non-overlapping, implying pleiotropic cellular mechanisms during...
