Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The c.14576G>A variant in ring finger protein 213 (RNF213) was recently identified as a susceptibility gene variant for moyamoya disease (MMD). The occurrence of c.14576G>A variant was evaluated in patients with intracranial major artery stenosis/occlusion (ICASO) without signs of MMD (non-MMD ICASO), as well as in patients with MMD and other cerebrovascular diseases as controls.
