Association of thyroid peroxidase antibody with the RNF213 p.R4810K variant in ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack

RNF213 is a susceptibility gene for moyamoya disease and vasospastic angina, with a second hit considered necessary for their development. Elevated thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab) levels have been observed in both diseases, suggesting a possible role of TPO-Ab as a second hit for developing RNF213-related vasculopathy. We investigated the association of TPO-Ab levels with RNF213-related ischemic stroke (IS)/transient ischemic attack (TIA), other than moyamoya disease.
