Deciphering the vascular labyrinth: role of microRNAs and candidate gene SNPs in brain AVM development - literature review.

CONCLUSIONS: The following literature review focuses on the discoveries made in ascertaining the different implications of miRNAs and candidate gene SNPs in the formation and evolution of brain AVMs, as well as highlighting the possible directions of future research and biological treatment.
