Utilization of unconventional treatments by persons with MS: is it alternative or complementary?

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Precise genetic analyses were conducted with ring finger protein 213 (RNF213) in relation to a particular clinical phenotype in Chinese patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) to determine whether heterozygosity is responsible for the early-onset and severe form of this disease. METHODS:A case-control study for...
