Abstract excerpt
Microangiopathy related cerebral damage (MARCD) includes early confluent and confluent white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and lacunar lesions. It is expected to be the result of interactions between multiple genetic and environmental factors. The estimated proportion of genetic factors contributing to the interindividual variation seen in WMH volume is 73%. This estimate points to a significant genetic component...
