Abstract

We have created a human chromosomal map of the location of known and candidate genes involved in primary lymphedema (PLE). This should facilitate further discovery and provide a basis for understanding microdeletions which cause lymphedema.

Keywords: chromosomes; genes; mutations; primary lymphedema.
