RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys Wild Type is Associated with De Novo Hemorrhage in Asymptomatic Hemispheres with Moyamoya Disease.

ABSTRACT: Clinical implications of RNF213 genetic variants, other than p.Arg4810Lys, in moyamoya disease (MMD), remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association of RNF213 variants with clinical phenotypes in MMD. This retrospective cohort study collected data regarding the clinical characteristics of 139 patients with MMD and evaluated the angioarchitectures of 253 hemispheres using digital subtraction angiography at diagnosis. All RNF213 exons were sequenced, and the associations of clinical characteristics and angiographical findings with p.Arg4810Lys, p.Ala4399Thr, and other rare variants (RVs) were examined. Among 139 patients, 100 (71.9%) had p.Arg4810Lys heterozygote (GA) and 39 (28.1%) had the wild type (GG). Fourteen RVs were identified and detetcted in 15/139 (10.8%) patients
