[Molecular basis and physiopathogenic mechanisms of CADASIL: a model of small vessel diseases of the brain].

Abstract excerpt

Diseases of the small cerebral arteries account for approximately 20% of the ischaemic strokes. Their diagnosis is difficult and their pathogenic mechanisms are yet unclear. A certain proportion of these diseases is familial. CADASIL is a recently identified small-artery disease of the brain, which occurs both as an autosomal dominant and a sporadic condition caused by mutations in the Notch3 gene. Since the...
