TI  - Moyamoya disease in Italian monozygotic twins.
PG  - 1332-5
AB  - We report white monozygotic twins with moyamoya disease (MMD) (adult ischemic 
      type). Both had cerebral angiography, MRI, magnetic resonance angiography, SPECT, 
      EEG, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing, evaluation of thrombophilia, and 
      immunologic and karyotype analysis. The clinical features and HLA phenotypes 
      described in Asian monozygotic twins with MMD were not found in our patients. 
      However, genetic analysis revealed a homozygous state for C-->T (Ala-->Val 
      substitution) in position 677 of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase-encoding 
      gene.
