Genetic Testing
Feb 27^th, 2012 at 3:23am

Was wondering whether anyone has contact details for genetic testing for moyamoya?
We live in Australia and are being told that there aren't any accurate tests that can be done. I thought I had seen posts that indicated that testing was being done in the States.
My daughter has unilateral moyamoya and has a 3 month old son who we would like tested.
Would appreciate help from anyone who has had testing done or has contact details.
Thanks

Hi Geoff, So sorry you and your wife have to go through this. My daughter just sent in her DNA (saliva) to the Univ. of Texas. I apologize for not having the doctors name handy but I know it is in a post from DJ. The doctor is speaking at the Moyamoya gathering in Kansas city this summer so her name will be listed there. You could email Alana and she could let you know if they are taking samples from outside the US. I have heard the name Dr. Stoodly so I think someone else on this site has seen him. Best of luck to you both and keep us posted.

hello, i wondered if anyone has more info about the genetic testing - is it to establish if there is a genetic component to an individuals MM or is it for undiagnosed siblings/parents/children to establish whether or not they are predisposed? My youngest daughter who doesn't have MM has had a clear MRI scan but I worry if this is still something that could develop at a later date. Does anyone know if people with MM would always have had visible changes on an MRI since young children or is it something that can develop at any time?
