Abstract

Milory Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the normal functioning of the lymph system. The milroy syndrome comes with other features besides lymph nodes. Men with milory syndrome are sometimes born with fluid accumulation in the hydrocele. Some cases of milory syndrome are caused by the mutation of the FLT4 gene, which is based on the long arm of chromosome number 5 as 5q35.3.
