Summaries for Congenital Lymphedema

About this section
MalaCards based summary : Congenital Lymphedema, also known as milroy disease, is related to klippel-trenaunay-weber syndrome and lymphangiosarcoma. An important gene associated with Congenital Lymphedema is FLT4 (Fms Related Tyrosine Kinase 4), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Response to elevated platelet cytosolic Ca2+ and Pathways in cancer. The drugs Paroxetine and Serotonin Agents have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include breast, heart and lymph node, and related phenotypes are cardiovascular system and mortality/aging
