Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a hereditary cerebral small vascular disease caused by the mutations of the NOTCH3 gene. The NOTCH3 gene consists of 33 exons. The pathogenic mutations of the NOTCH3 gene in CADASIL are located in 2-24 exons coding for the 34 EGFr (epidermal growth factor-like repeat) domains. The classical clinical...
