The Pittsburgh Lymphedema Family Study is one of the most important research programs unraveling the genetic causes of lymphedema. The study has identified four of the seven known genes causing inherited lymphedema. Many individuals visiting this web site are study participants and have been critical to the success of this research.

To build upon these achievements, in the face of government research allocation cuts, funding from private sources is urgently needed. Please consider supporting this important work through a generous financial gift.
