Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although the aetiology of moyamoya disease (MMD) has not been fully clarified, genetic analysis of familial MMD (F-MMD) has considerable potential to disclose it. OBJECTIVE: To determine the inheritance pattern and clinical characteristics of F-MMD to enable precise genetic analyses of the disease. METHODS: 15 highly aggregated Japanese families (52 patients; 38 women and 14 men) with three or more...
