Abstract
Pediatric Moyamoya Angiopathy (MMA) is a progressive intracranial occlusive arteriopathy that represents a leading cause of transient ischemic attacks and strokes in childhood. Despite this, up to now no large, exclusively pediatric MMA cohort has been subjected to systematic genetic investigation. In this study, we performed molecular karyotyping, exome sequencing and automated structural assessment of missense variants on a series of 88 pediatric MMA patients and correlated genetic, angiographic and clinical (stroke burden) findings. The two largest subgroups in our cohort consisted of RNF213 and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients. While deleterious RNF213 variants were associated with a severe MMA clinical course with early symptom onset, frequent posterior cerebral artery involvement and higher stroke rates in multiple territories, NF1 patients had a similar infarct burden compared to non-NF1 individuals and were often diagnosed incidentally during routine MRIs. Additionally, we found that MMA-associated RNF213 variants have lower predicted functional impact compared to those associated with aortic disease. We also raise the question of MMA as a feature of recurrent as well as rare chromosomal imbalances and further support the possible association of MMA with STAT3 deficiency. In conclusion, we provide a comprehensive characterization at the genetic and clinical level of a large exclusively pediatric MMA population. Due to the clinical differences found across genetic subgroups, we propose genetic testing for risk stratification as part of the routine assessment of pediatric MMA patients.

Dorschel KB, Wanebo JE. Physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms of the molecular and cellular biology of angiogenesis and inflammation in moyamoya angiopathy and related vascular diseases. Front Neurol 2023; 14:661611. [PMID: 37273690 PMCID: PMC10236939 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.661611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale The etiology and pathophysiological mechanisms of moyamoya angiopathy (MMA) remain largely unknown. MMA is a progressive, occlusive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by recurrent ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes; with compensatory formation of an abnormal network of perforating blood vessels that creates a collateral circulation; and by aberrant angiogenesis at the base of the brain. Imbalance of angiogenic and vasculogenic mechanisms has been proposed as a potential cause of MMA. Moyamoya vessels suggest that aberrant angiogenic, arteriogenic, and vasculogenic processes may be involved in the pathophysiology of MMA. Circulating endothelial progenitor cells have been hypothesized to contribute to vascular remodeling in MMA. MMA is associated with increased expression of angiogenic factors and proinflammatory molecules. Systemic inflammation may be related to MMA pathogenesis. Objective This literature review describes the molecular mechanisms associated with cerebrovascular dysfunction, aberrant angiogenesis, and inflammation in MMA and related cerebrovascular diseases along with treatment strategies and future research perspectives. Methods and results References were identified through a systematic computerized search of the medical literature from January 1, 1983, through July 29, 2022, using the PubMed, EMBASE, BIOSIS Previews, CNKI, ISI web of science, and Medline databases and various combinations of the keywords "moyamoya," "angiogenesis," "anastomotic network," "molecular mechanism," "physiology," "pathophysiology," "pathogenesis," "biomarker," "genetics," "signaling pathway," "blood-brain barrier," "endothelial progenitor cells," "endothelial function," "inflammation," "intracranial hemorrhage," and "stroke." Relevant articles and supplemental basic science articles almost exclusively published in English were included. Review of the reference lists of relevant publications for additional sources resulted in 350 publications which met the study inclusion criteria. Detection of growth factors, chemokines, and cytokines in MMA patients suggests the hypothesis of aberrant angiogenesis being involved in MMA pathogenesis. It remains to be ascertained whether these findings are consequences of MMA or are etiological factors of MMA. Conclusions MMA is a heterogeneous disorder, comprising various genotypes and phenotypes, with a complex pathophysiology. Additional research may advance our understanding of the pathophysiology involved in aberrant angiogenesis, arterial stenosis, and the formation of moyamoya collaterals and anastomotic networks. Future research will benefit from researching molecular pathophysiologic mechanisms and the correlation of clinical and basic research results.

The Genetic Landscape of Ischemic Stroke in Children - Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives. Semin Pediatr Neurol 2022; 44:100999. [PMID: 36456039 DOI: 10.1016/j.spen.2022.100999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Stroke in childhood has multiple etiologies, which are mostly distinct from those in adults. Genetic discoveries over the last decade pointed to monogenic disorders as a rare but significant cause of ischemic stroke in children and young adults, including small vessel and arterial ischemic stroke. These discoveries contributed to the understanding that stroke in children may be a sign of an underlying genetic disease. The identification of these diseases requires a detailed medical and family history collection, a careful clinical evaluation for the detection of systemic symptoms and signs, and neuroimaging assessment. Establishing an accurate etiological diagnosis and understanding the genetic risk factors for stroke are essential steps to decipher the underlying mechanisms, optimize the design of tailored prevention strategies, and facilitate the identification of novel therapeutic targets in some cases. Despite the increasing recognition of monogenic causes of stroke, genetic disorders remain understudied and therefore under-recognized in children with stroke. Increased awareness among healthcare providers is essential to facilitate accurate diagnosis in a timely manner. In this review, we provide a summary of the main single-gene disorders which may present as ischemic stroke in childhood and describe their clinical manifestations. We provide a set of practical suggestions for the diagnostic work up of these uncommon causes of stroke, based upon the stroke subtype and imaging characteristics that may suggest a monogenic diagnosis of ischemic stroke in children. Current hurdles in the genetic analyses of children with ischemic stroke as well as future prospectives are discussed.

Epigenome-Wide Association Study Reveals Differential Methylation Sites and Association of Gene Expression Regulation with Ischemic Moyamoya Disease in Adults. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:7192060. [PMID: 35368875 PMCID: PMC8970806 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7192060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Background The association of DNA methylation with the pathogenesis of adult ischemic moyamoya disease (MMD) is unknown. Here, we investigated the genome-wide DNA methylation profiles in patients with MMD and identified the genes related to the pathogenesis of MMD. Methods Whole blood samples were collected from 20 individuals, including 10 patients with ischemic moyamoya disease without any underlying disease and 10 healthy individuals. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis was performed using Illumina 850K microarrays. Transcriptional correlation was verified using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. In vitro experiments were used to analyze the association of functional defects with candidate epigenetic markers. Results The genome-wide methylation level in the whole blood of adults with ischemic MMD was higher than that in the healthy individuals. In total, 759 methylation probes differed significantly between the case and control. The hypermethylated regions were mostly concentrated in the gene spacer regions. Among genes with the highest degree of the differential expression, KCNMA1 and GALNT2 were upregulated, whereas SOX6 and RBM33 were downregulated. Conclusions This is the first study showing that the low expression of genes associated with epigenetic regulation, such as SOX6 and RBM33, may be related to vascular occlusion in MMD, whereas the overexpression of KCNMA1 and GALNT2 may be related to the vascular hyperplasia. The results suggest that DNA methylation was involved in the pathogenesis of MMD, and new pathogenic genes were proposed as biological markers.

Abstract
Stroke is an important cause of neurological morbidity in children; most survivors have permanent neurological deficits that affect the remainder of their life. Stroke in childhood, the focus of this Primer, is distinguished from perinatal stroke, defined as stroke before 29 days of age, because of its unique pathogenesis reflecting the maternal-fetal unit. Although approximately 15% of strokes in adults are haemorrhagic, half of incident strokes in children are haemorrhagic and half are ischaemic. The causes of childhood stroke are distinct from those in adults. Urgent brain imaging is essential to confirm the stroke diagnosis and guide decisions about hyperacute therapies. Secondary stroke prevention strongly depends on the underlying aetiology. While the past decade has seen substantial advances in paediatric stroke research, the quality of evidence for interventions, such as the rapid reperfusion therapies that have revolutionized arterial ischaemic stroke care in adults, remains low. Substantial time delays in diagnosis and treatment continue to challenge best possible care. Effective primary stroke prevention strategies in children with sickle cell disease represent a major success, yet barriers to implementation persist. The multidisciplinary members of the International Pediatric Stroke Organization are coordinating global efforts to tackle these challenges and improve the outcomes in children with cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We report a prenatal case of male fetus with a 2q13 deletion and an Xq27.3q28 duplication, presenting nasal bone dysplasia by ultrasound examination. And we compare the similarities of clinical features of cases consisting of similar 2q deletion and Xq duplication. CASE REPORT A 30-year-old woman was referred for prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling at 24 weeks of gestation. Prenatal ultrasound showed nasal bone dysplasia of the fetus. Amniocentesis revealed the karyotype of the fetus as 46, XY and the results of chromosomal microarray analysis was arr[GRCh37] 2q13(110467258-111370025)x1, arr[GRCh37]Xq27.3q28(144050780-149748782)x2. The parents both have normal karyotypes. The couple chose to continue the pregnancy and finally delivered a male infant at 39 weeks of gestation. His weight was 2850 g and length was 50 cm. Physical examination of the newborn revealed no apparent anomalies. Until the boy was one year old, there was no abnormalities in his growth and development. The long-term follow-up till adulthood for the healthy infant is necessary. CONCLUSION The development of CMA plays a critical role in prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling for unidentified chromosomal anomalies. More clinical information and further studies of patients with these anomalies will identify the pathogenicity of the involving genes and improve the understanding of the phenotype-genotype correlation.

Abstract
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disease characterized by progressive spontaneous bilateral occlusion of the intracranial internal cerebral arteries (ICA) and their major branches with compensatory capillary collaterals resembling a “puff of smoke” (Japanese: Moyamoya) on cerebral angiography. These pathological alterations of the vessels are called Moyamoya arteriopathy or vasculopathy and a further distinction is made between primary and secondary MMD. Clinical presentation depends on age and population, with hemorrhage and ischemic infarcts in particular leading to severe neurological dysfunction or even death. Although the diagnostic suspicion can be posed by MRA or CTA, cerebral angiography is mandatory for diagnostic confirmation. Since no therapy to limit the stenotic lesions or the development of a collateral network is available, the only treatment established so far is surgical revascularization. The pathophysiology still remains unknown. Due to the early age of onset, familial cases and the variable incidence rate between different ethnic groups, the focus was put on genetic aspects early on. Several genetic risk loci as well as individual risk genes have been reported; however, few of them could be replicated in independent series. Linkage studies revealed linkage to the 17q25 locus. Multiple studies on the association of SNPs and MMD have been conducted, mainly focussing on the endothelium, smooth muscle cells, cytokines and growth factors. A variant of the RNF213 gene was shown to be strongly associated with MMD with a founder effect in the East Asian population. Although it is unknown how mutations in the RNF213 gene, encoding for a ubiquitously expressed 591 kDa cytosolic protein, lead to clinical features of MMD, RNF213 has been confirmed as a susceptibility gene in several studies with a gene dosage-dependent clinical phenotype, allowing preventive screening and possibly the development of new therapeutic approaches. This review focuses on the genetic basis of primary MMD only.
