The study will examine how FZD6 and planar cell polarity signaling affect lymphatic development and function, and assess whether FZD6 variants contribute to central conducting lymphatic anomaly.
Description
The project investigates FZD6 as a potential cause of central conducting lymphatic anomaly by studying lymphatic network morphology, function, and cell behavior in loss-of-function mammalian models.
