Association of Somatic<i>GNAQ</i>Mutation With Capillary Malformations in a Case of Choroidal Hemangioma

Abstract

The results suggest that a more accurate description for choroidal hemangioma in patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome is choroidal capillary malformation. This finding may explain why propranolol, used to treat infantile hemangiomas, has been largely ineffective in patients with choroidal hemangioma. Further studies are needed to corroborate this finding.
