Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The genetic basis underlying the pathophysiology of quasi-moyamoya disease (qMMD) is unclear. Herein, the authors aimed to comprehensively analyze genetic variants in qMMD and investigate their association with clinical phenotypes, focusing on RNF213 and other moyamoya angiopathy (MMA)-related genes. METHODS: The authors evaluated 14 consecutive cases of qMMD, whose underlying conditions included...
