Abstract Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) feature altered brain development, developmental delay and seizures, with seizures exacerbating developmental delay. Here we identify a cohort with biallelic variants in DENND5A, encoding a

BackgroundBenefits and challenges resulting from advances in genetic diagnostics are two sides of the same coin. Facilitation of a correct and timely diagnosis is paralleled by challenges in interpretation of variants of unknown significance (VUS). F

Lymphatic malformations (LM) are characterized by the overgrowth of lymphatic vessels during pre- and postnatal development. Macrocystic, microcystic and combined forms of LM are known. The cysts are lined by lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs). Resec
