Medicine: Genetic spotlight on a blood defect

Diether Lambrechts1 & Peter Carmeliet1

Top

The causes of defects in the blood system of newborn babies can be hard to establish if the errors are not inherited. An elegant approach has identified a gene that can encourage new blood vessels to grow.

Babies who are born with defects in their vascular system face serious medical and social problems. But we know little about the cause of these blood-vessel anomalies1, 2.

  1. Diether Lambrechts and Peter Carmeliet are at the Centre for Transgene Technology and Gene Therapy, Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology, University of Leuven, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium.
