Notes

rs80338908, also known as c.2545C>T, p.Arg849Trp and R849W, represents a mutation in the TEK gene on chromosome 9. The rare minor allele for this SNP is reported to cause Multiple cutaneous and mucosal venous malformations. Tie-1 and tie-2 define another class of putative receptor tyrosine kinase genes expressed in early embryonic vascular system. Vascular dysmorphogenesis caused by an activating mutation in the receptor tyrosine kinase TIE2. Endothelial receptor tyrosine kinases activate the STAT signaling pathway: mutant Tie-2 causing venous malformations signals a distinct STAT activation response.
