Defining the transcriptome of PIK3CA-altered cells in a human capillary malformation using single cell long-read sequencing.

PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) disorders are caused by somatic mosaic variants that result in constitutive activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/AKT/mTOR pathway. Promising responses to molecularly targeted therapy have been reported, although identification of an appropriate agent can be hampered by the mosaic nature and corresponding low variant allele frequency of the causal variant. Moreover, our understanding of the molecular consequences of these variants-for example how they affect gene expression profiles-remains limited.

A Rare Case of Vascular Malformation in India: Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita.

The current case report presents a male baby, second born to nonconsanguineous parents at 38 weeks of gestation by lower segment cesarean section, with engorged blood vessels and distinctive patterns of discoloration and dilation of blood vessels on the left leg. A Doppler of the femoral artery and vein showed normal triphasic flow and waveforms without any evidence of significant luminal stenosis. There was also a lower limb length discrepancy of 1.

Adams-Oliver syndrome associated with refractory glaucoma.

Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by aplasia cutis congenita, cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, and terminal limb defects. Ocular associations have been rarely reported. We report a 6-month-old boy with AOS associated with refractory glaucoma, megalocornea, and anterior polar cataract.
