Susceptibility
  • to Moyamoya disease (see MYMY4)
  • to Intracranial aneurysms (IAs)
  • to intracranial major artery stenosis/occlusion (ICASO)
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • R4810K polymorphism increases susceptibility to Moyamoya disease, inducing phenotypes associated with mitotic abnormalities
  • SNP rs6565666 appeared to be significantly associated with IA subjects
  • RNF213 c.14576G>A is a susceptibility gene for intracranial major artery stenosis/occlusion (ICASO)
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
    Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • knockdown of Rnf213 in zebrafish caused irregular wall formation in trunk arteries and abnormal sprouting vessels
  • increased vascular expression of Mmp9 and subsequent vascular wall thinning in Rnf213-/- mice could reflect the early characteristic of MMD (Moyamoya disease)
