Abstract excerpt
CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy) is an inherited small vessel disease causing migraine, early strokes, cognitive impairment and premature death. The disease is caused by NOTCH3 gene puntiform mutations on one of the exons coding for the epidermal-growth factor (EGF)-like repeats of the extracellular domain of the NOTCH3 receptor. Mutations have...
