Observation of p.R4810K, a Polymorphism of the Mysterin Gene, the Susceptibility Gene for Moyamoya Disease, in Two Female Japanese Diabetic Patients with Familial Partial Lipodystrophy 1.

Abstract excerpt

Mysterin, which was recently shown to play an important role in maintaining cellular fat storage, has been identified to be the susceptibility gene for moyamoya disease (MMD). We encountered some female Japanese patients with partial lipodystrophy and MMD-like vascular lesions. This prompted us to examine whether mysterin variants may be present in these patients. We identified a mysterin variant, p.R4810K in two...
