Importance of RNF213 polymorphism on clinical features and long-term outcome in moyamoya disease.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECT Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an idiopathic cerebrovascular occlusive disorder prevalent in East Asia. In the pathogenesis of MMD, the important role of genetic factors is being elucidated, and RNF213 has recently been identified as a susceptibility gene for MMD. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the RNF213 genotype in patients with MMD and to determine their genotype-phenotype...
