A Milroy Disease Family Caused by FLT4 Gene Mutation of c.2774 T>A
Background: Milroy disease (MD) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder. Mutations in the Fms-related tyrosine kinase 4 (FLT4) gene cause the symptoms of this disease. In this report, we investigated the mutations in a large Chinese family with MD.
Methods: We conducted Sanger sequencing of exons 17–26 of the FLT4 (NM_182925.4) gene. The primers were as follows: forward, 5' CTTCATCAGCGTCGAGTGG 3' and reverse, 5' ATTATGGGCGGGTTCCTT 3'. The amplification system is as follows: 2×Biotech Power PCR Mix, 10 µl; forward primer, 0.8 µl (10 µM); reverse primer, 0.8 µl (10 µM); DNA template, 1 µl (50 ng/µl); and ddH2O, 13.4 µl. The mutation was evaluated with MutationTaster, SIFT and PolyPhen.
Results: A heterozygous substitution was detected in all patients but not in any healthy controls (FLT4 gene: c.2774 T>A, p.V925E). The mutation was predicted to be pathogenic.
Conclusions: In this report, we described a large family with MD caused by a missense mutation of the FLT4 gene (c.2774 T>A, p.V925E).
