Novel gene mutation found in lymphatic disorder

Pediatric researchers have identified a gene mutation that causes a serious lymphatic condition, and used that knowledge to restore normal lymphatic vessels in model animals. The laboratory findings may lead to a new therapy for patients with this type of abnormal lymphatic circulation. Abnormal lymphatic flow may sometimes cause severe symptoms, including respiratory distress, fluid accumulation and swelling in limbs and tissues.
