Moyamoya disease 5

Moyamoya disease 5 is a rare form of Moyamoya disease that is uniquely linked to a mutation in the ACTA2 gene. This subtype is defined by its genetic cause, meaning that changes in the ACTA2 gene are the underlying reason for this condition. While the exact effects and progression of the condition may vary among people with Moyamoya disease 5, it is understood as part of a group of diseases where blood vessels in the brain are affected. The focus on the genetic cause helps guide research and understanding of how the disease develops.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Moyamoya disease 5 is caused by a mutation in the ACTA2 gene. This genetic change is the primary factor known to trigger the disease. Research in this area continues to explore how this mutation affects blood vessels and contributes to the disease process.
