The Yale Vascular Malformations Program (VaMP) identifies a culprit gene mutation implicated in the pathogenesis of "hepatic hemangiomas".
The Yale New Haven Hospital Vascular Malformations Program (VaMP), via a collaborative multidisciplinary effort, has identified somatic mosaic gene mutations (GJA4 encoding connexin 37) implicated in the pathogenesis of so-called “HEPATIC HEMANGIOMAS” in adult patients. This discovery questions the validity of the very term “hemangioma” in this particular anatomic distribution; and renders – for the first time - objective scientific support to the radiographically and clinically suspected notion that these lesions actually represent VENOUS MALFORMATIOMS - an entity with a completely different natural history, hemodynamics, angioarchitectural profile, and ergo therapeutic susceptibility.

Yale Radiology and Psychiatry Researchers Join with Penn Medicine to Create a New Center to Study Opioid Use Disorders
Opioid use disorder has reached epidemic levels in the United States. Over the last two decades, opioid-related overdose deaths increased by more than 50 percent, with nearly 50,000 in 2018, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine (YSM) and Penn Medicine, which comprises the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, have created a new center that focuses on neuroimaging to improve our understanding of opioid use disorders and find new treatments.
