“…In addition to p.Arg4810Lys, associations of RNF213 RVs with certain MMD phenotypes have been reported [27][28][29]. Hara et al reported that in pediatric-onset MMD undergoing indirect bypass surgery, patients without p.Arg4810Lys exhibited poorer postoperative outcomes compared to those with p.Arg4810Lys.…”

Robust postoperative bypass development is a characteristic of moyamoya disease (MMD); however, genetic factors mediating this phenomenon remain incompletely understood. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the relationship between postoperative donor artery development and genetic variants. We retrospectively enrolled 63 patients (79 hemispheres) who underwent combined revascularization surgery. Postoperative development of the superficial temporal artery (STA), middle meningeal artery, and deep temporal artery (DTA) was assessed using the caliber-change ratio determined from magnetic resonance angiography measurements. We analyzed RNF213 and 36 other moyamoya angiopathy-related genes by whole-exome sequencing and extracted rare or damaging variants. Thirty-five participants carried RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys (all heterozygotes), whereas 5 had RNF213 rare variants (RVs). p.Arg4810Lys was significantly associated with postoperative DTA development, while age at surgery, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia were inversely associated. Multiple regression analysis revealed that age and p.Arg4810Lys held statistical significance (P = 0.044, coefficient − 0.015, 95% confidence interval (CI) − 0.029 to 0.000 and P = 0.001, coefficient 0.670, 95% CI 0.269 to 1.072, respectively). Those with RNF213 RV without p.Arg4810Lys exhibited a significant trend toward poor DTA development (P = 0.001). Hypertension demonstrated a significant positive association with STA development, which remained significant even after multiple regression analysis (P = 0.001, coefficient 0.303, 95% CI 0.123 to 0.482). Following Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons, targeted analyses of RNF213 and 36 moyamoya angiopathy-related genes showed a significant association of only RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys with favorable DTA development (P = 0.001). A comprehensive analysis of RNF213, considering both p.Arg4810Lys and RVs, may provide a clearer prediction of postoperative DTA development.
