Microcystic lymphatic malformations in Turner syndrome are due to somatic mosaicism of PIK3CA.

Turner syndrome (45,X) is caused by a complete or partial absence of a single X chromosome. Vascular malformations occur due to abnormal development of blood and/or lymphatic vessels. They arise from either somatic or germline pathogenic variants in the genes regulating growth and apoptosis of vascular channels.

We studied the clinical effectiveness of telemedicine for patients with suspected or confirmed genetic conditions.
