This work provides a detailed evidence-based view of the gene-disease associations in the field of vascular malformations caused by somatic variants. Knowing both the gene-phenotype relationships and the strength of the associations greatly help laboratories in data interpretation and eventually in the clinical diagnosis. This study reflects the state of knowledge as of mid-2023 and will be regularly updated on the VASCERN-VASCA website (VASCERN-VASCA, https://vascern.eu/groupe/vascular-anomalies/ ).
