Vascular Malformations and Abnormalities of Growth

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Abnormality

In brief

To take part in this study you/your child have a vascular malformation, a type of blood vessel disorder whose cause is unknown. The investigators will do this by looking at changes in the genes and proteins in the cells of the malformation as well as normal cells. The investigators are doing this research because currently there is no known cause of vascular malformations and no way to know whether or not other health problems will occur in addition to the malformation. Through this research we hope to create standard methods for doctors to examine and treat people with vascular anomalies.
