Abstract:
Moyamoya disease is a rare cerebrovascular disease.Its incidence is higher in the East Asia.The pathogenesis of MMD remains unclear at present,but the epidemiological research both at home and abroad suggests that the genetic factors play an important role in the onset of MMD.This article briefly reviews the recent progress in research on MMD related genes.
