Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lymphatic malformations are lesions that can be due to inherited or somatic mutations, and they lead to a defective lymphatic vasculature. Activating KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog) mutations have been identified recently in patients with lymphatic malformation with lymphedema, chylous ascites, or life-threatening chylothorax. In a lymphatic malformation mouse model, KRAS mutations...
