#KnowYourZDM: Humans and #zebrafish carrying mutations in VEGFC or its receptor (FLT4) have defects in the formation of their lymphatic systems, which are important for draining lymph back into the circulation system.  As a result, these individuals display severe #lymphedema. 🧪
Humans bearing mutations in vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) or its receptor tyrosine kinase (FLT4) have defects in the formation of their lymphatic system, which is important for draining interstitial fluid back into the circulatory system.  As a consequence, these patients display severe lymphedema (bottom left).  In zebrafish, we have generated mutations in vegfc and flt4, both of which are conserved between zebrafish and humans.  Like humans, zebrafish larvae also display lymphedema due to a failure to form a complete lymphatic system (bottom right).
