0.390 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The authors conducted a genetic study of really interesting new gene (RING) finger protein 213 ( RNF213); actin alpha 2 ( ACTA2); BRCA1/BRCA2-containing complex subunit 3 ( BRCC3); and guanylate cyclase 1, soluble, alpha 3 ( GUCY1A3) as well as a clinical phenotype analysis in Chinese MMD patients to determine whether genetic differences are responsible for the different clinical features that appear in MMD in different ethnicities. 27128593 2017
