Abstract
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder with unknown etiology. MMD is characterized by progressive narrowing of arteries of the brain and the formation of a compensatory network of fragile vessels. Genetic studies have identified RNF213, also known as mysterin, as a susceptibility gene for MMD, but the low penetrance in genetically susceptible individuals suggests that a second hit is necessary to trigger disease onset. Recently, several molecular studies uncovered RNF213 as a key antimicrobial protein with important functions in the immune system. In addition, an increasing number of clinical reports describe the development of moyamoya angiopathy (MMA) asso-ciated with infection or autoimmune disorders. Together, this growing body of molecular and clinical evidence points towards immune-related responses as second hits to trigger MMD onset.
