Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: CADASIL is a small-vessel disease caused by a cysteine-altering pathogenic variant in one of the 34 epidermal growth factor-like repeat (EGFr) domains of the NOTCH3 protein. We recently found that pathogenic variant in EGFr domains 7-34 have an unexpectedly high frequency in the general population (1:300). We hypothesized that EGFr 7-34 pathogenic variant more frequently cause a much milder phenotype,...
