| Research Abstract |
We separated the endothelial colony forming cells from 6 patients with Moyamoya disease and control subjects. Then we analyzed the functions of RNF213 gene, that was reported as the first susseptibility gene of Moymoya disease. We found that RNF213 contributed to the pathogenesis of Moymoya disease in the process of inflammatory responses and the proliferation of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells.
