Activating NOTCH3 mutation in a patient with small-vessel-disease of the Brain
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
The most common causative diagnosis of hereditary small-vessel-disease of the brain, CADASIL, is due to highly stereotyped mutations in the NOTCH3 receptor. NOTCH3 has 33 exons but all CADASIL mutations occur within the Epidermal Growth Factor-like Repeats encoded by exons 2-24, lead to an odd number of cysteine residues and are associated with GOM deposits and abnormal NOTCH3 protein accumulation. The majority...
