ABSTRACT
Mysterin, which was recently shown to play an important role in maintaining cellular fat storage, has been identified to be the susceptibility gene for moyamoya disease (MMD). We encountered some female Japanese patients with partial lipodystrophy and MMD-like vascular lesions. This prompted us to examine whether mysterin variants may be present in these patients. We identified a mysterin variant, p.R4810K in two patients with MMD-like vascular lesions, who may fit the category of familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) 1. Our cases suggest the possibility that p.R4810K, in addition to atherogenic risk factors, might thus play a role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions in patients with FPLD1 and p.R4810K.
