Mutation in a single non-coding gene found to be the source of multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome

A team of investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital, a founding member of Mass General Brigham and Mass General for Children has identified - for the first time - the mutation in a single non-coding gene of a young patient responsible for the extremely rare disease known as multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome, which causes profound cerebrovascular, gastrointestinal and urologic impairment.
