Demographic Disparities in the Incidence of Moyamoya Angiopathy in the United States
The incidence of MMA in the United States is higher than previously believed. Overall incidence in Black individuals is just as high as that in Asian individuals, and both are higher than that of non-Hispanic White individuals. Further studies are needed to understand the genetic and environmental factors contributing to race/ethnic disparities in MMA incidence in the United States.
