Description of a simple test for CADASIL disease and determination of mutation frequencies in sporadic ischaemic stroke and dementia patients.

Abstract excerpt

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a rare inherited adult onset disease characterised most commonly by cerebral ischaemic events and dementia. It is caused by mutations in the Notch3 gene with most clustering in exons 3 and 4. Whether these mutations have any influence on common sporadic ischaemic stroke or dementia cases has not been...
