Summary
This study is looking at families where someone has moyamoya disease, a rare condition that narrows brain arteries and raises stroke risk. Researchers want to find early warning signs in first-degree relatives using advanced MRI scans and biological samples like blood and saliva. The goal is to create a screening tool to catch the disease early, before symptoms start. The study will follow 700 people for three years.
