Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cerebral small-vessel disease (cSVD) is the leading monogenic cause of stroke. Despite genetic screening in routine diagnosis, many cases remain without a known causative variant. Using a cohort with suspected familial cSVD and whole-genome sequencing, we screened for variants in genes associated with monogenic cSVD and searched for novel variants associated with the disease. METHODS AND RESULTS: Rare...
