BACKGROUND: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a cerebrovascular small-vessel disease caused by stereotyped mutations in the Notch3 gene altering the number of cysteine residues. METHODS: We directly sequenced exons 2-23 of the Notch3 gene in 30 unrelated Russian patients with clinical/neuroimaging picture suggestive of CADASIL. To confirm the...
