Vascular lesions such as cavernous hemangioma, epithelioid hemangioma and hemangioendothelioma can grow within the lacrimal gland. 7 If these lesions are confined to the lacrimal gland, the treatment is simple excision.
Scientists estimate that about 12 million Americans are currently CF carriers. If two CF carriers have a child, there is a 1 in 4 chance that the child will have CF. Almost 1,400 different mutations of the CF gene can lead to cystic fibrosis (some mutations cause milder symptoms than others). About 70% of people with CF have the disease because they inherited the mutant gene Delta F508 from both of their parents.
