Description

Genetic analysis of the familials of patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) has a significant potential to reveal the etiology of this disease, although neither the detailed etiology nor pathogenesis of MMD has been fully elucidated to date. While a familial history of MMD is apparent in 10-15% of MMD patients, familial occurrence of probable MMD and definite MMD is very rare. We describe an interesting familial case of probable MMD (mother) and definite MMD (2 daughters). This represents a new pattern of familial occurrence of probable and definite MMD.<br>
