Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy: phenotypic and mutational spectrum.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in NOTCH3 are the cause of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) an inherited small vessel disease leading to subcortical strokes and dementia. Since the vascular pathology is clearly defined, CADASIL may provide important insights into the mechanisms underlying lacunar infarcts, ischemic white matter changes, and vascular dementia. Evidence...
