Lymphatic Malformations with Activating KRAS Mutations Impair Lymphatic Valve Development Through Matrix Metalloproteinases
2025-04-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>BACKGROUND</h4> Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are lesions due to inherited or somatic mutations that lead to a defective lymphatic vasculature. Activating KRAS mutations have been identified recently in LM patients with lymphedema, chylous ascites, or life-threatening chylothorax. In a LM mouse model, KRAS mutations are associated with a loss of lymphatic valves, which has been proposed to...
