Primary lymphedema can be familial (in which more than one member of the same family has a lymphedema phenotype), syndromic (in which lymphedema is one symptom of a complex clinical syndrome) or sporadic (in which an isolated family member has lymphedema). All types of lymphedema are determined by genetic alteration of one or more genes. Not all the genes involved are known.
