Abstract

The number of genetic mutations that cause lymphedema and other diseases of the lymphatic system has significantly grown in recent years. This information has shed light on the molecular mechanisms controlling the development of the lymphatic system and has increased our understanding of the etiology of inherited and non-inherited diseases of the lymphatic system. Here, we briefly describe the different genetic mutations that cause diseases of the lymphatic system, some of which are also mutated in some cancers. Additionally, we discuss the similarities between lymphatic diseases and cancer.
