RNF213-Associated Vascular Disease: A Concept Unifying Various Vasculopathies
8 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
The ring finger protein 213 gene (RNF213) encodes a 590 kDa protein that is thought to be involved in angiogenesis. This gene was first recognized as a vasculopathy-susceptibility locus through genome-wide association studies undertaken in a Japanese population, demonstrating that heterozygotes for RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys (c.14429G>A, rs112735431) had a greatly increased risk of moyamoya disease. The association of...
