Hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia syndrome

Definition

Hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia syndrome (HLTS) is an extremely rare lymphedema syndrome. The transcription factor SOX18 was shown to play a role in the development of hair, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. SOX18 mutations are associated with both recessive and dominant HLTS.
