Rare Pecam1 Variants in Three Families With Lymphedema

Abstract: PECAM1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed in monocytes, neutrophils, macrophages and other types of immune cells as well as in endothelial cells. PECAM1 function is crucial for the development and maturation of B lymphocytes. The aim of this study was to link rare PECAM1 variants found in lymphedema patients with the development of lymphatic system malformations. Using NGS, we previously tested 246 Italian lymphedema patients for variants in 29 lymphedema-associated genes and obtain… Show more

“…Platelet adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM1), a cell adhesion and signaling receptor, is located on chromosome 17q23.3 and encodes a protein found on the surface of monocytes, platelets, neutrophils, and certain types of T cells and makes up most of the intercellular junctions in endothelial cells. PECAM1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed in monocytes, neutrophils, macrophages, and other types of immune cells, as well as endothelial cells [ 29 ]. They may be involved in leukocyte migration, angiogenesis, and integrin activation.…”
