BACKGROUND: Quasi-moyamoya disease (MMD) and MMD (definite MMD) have similar cerebral angiographic features, but whether these related diseases have similar etiology or genetic background remains unclear. Recently, we have reported that the recently identified MMD susceptibility gene variant RNF213 c.14576G>A (rs112735431) was associated with atherosclerotic intracranial major artery stenosis/occlusion. The...
