A previous case-control study and a family analysis demonstrated a strong association of the East Asian-specific variant, R4810K (rs112735431), with MMD. Our aim is to uncover evolutionary history of R4810K in East Asian populations. METHODS: The RNF213 locus of 24 MMD patients in Japan were sequenced using...
