AIM: The ring finger protein 213 gene (RNF213) p.R4810K variant is a major susceptibility gene for intracranial arterial stenosis in East Asia. We hypothesized that if intracranial arterial stenosis is induced by a non-atherosclerotic mechanism similar to moyamoya disease, the patients with RNF213 p.R4810K variant may have a lower cumulative atherosclerotic burden than the non-carriers. METHODS: A total of 112...
