ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on creating a national registry and biobank for patients with lymphatic malformations (ML), which are rare conditions that can cause growths in the lymphatic system, often appearing at birth or early childhood. The purpose of the registry is to gather important information about these malformations, including how common they are and how they affect different patients. The biobank will collect biological samples from participants to support future research, helping scientists better understand ML and develop new treatments.

Anyone aged 0 to 100 who has been diagnosed with any type of lymphatic malformation can participate in this trial, provided they give their consent. Participants can expect to be part of a comprehensive study that looks at their medical history, treatment outcomes, and how ML impacts their lives. This research aims to improve care for patients with ML and to create better treatment guidelines, ensuring that families receive the best possible support and information.
