Identification of RNF213 as a susceptibility gene for moyamoya disease and its possible role in vascular development.

Identification of RNF213 as a susceptibility gene for moyamoya disease and its possible role in vascular development.

Moyamoya disease is an idiopathic vascular disorder of intracranial arteries. Its susceptibility locus has been mapped to 17q25.3 in Japanese families, but the susceptibility gene is unknown.Genome-wide linkage analysis in eight three-generation families with moyamoya disease revealed linkage to 17q...
