BACKGROUND
Mutations in the Notch3 gene are the cause of CADASIL, a hereditary small vessel disease leading to stroke and vascular dementia. The disease is characterized by ultrastructural granular deposits within small arterial vessels and degeneration of vascular smooth muscle cells. Yet, little
BACKGROUND
HMG-CoA-reductase-inhibitors (statins) exhibit pleiotropic beneficial effects on the vascular system including induction of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression which is critical for vasodilation. Recent studies suggest a beneficial effect of statins on cerebral
The authors report the first Thai family with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) in which the family members had a classical history of progressive vascular dementia. The proband was a 31-year old Thai male who presented with an acute
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a rare adult-onset inherited arterial disease with a distinctive neuropathological phenotype. Owing to its recent identification and variable mode of presentation, the disease is often
CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy, MIM 125310) is a genetic vascular dementia disease that is linked to missense mutations, small in-frame deletions, and splice site mutations in the human Notch 3 gene. Here we describe the generation
BACKGROUND
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a hereditary syndrome caused by mutations of the Notch3 gene, usually localized to exons 3 and 4.
OBJECTIVE
To report a novel pathogenetic mutation occurring in exon 6 of the Notch3
We report a 39-year-old woman who presented with only dizziness and vertigo for 2 months. Neurological examination revealed no abnormalities except for hypereflexia on the left side extremities. Neurootological examination revealed no abnormalities. MRI of the brain demonstrated patchy
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an inherited cerebrovascular disease characterized by brain infarcts, cognitive decline and dementia. The disease is caused by at least 91 missense mutations, four deletions and one splice site
ractText>Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a rare hereditary stroke disorder caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. We report the first Chilean CADASIL family with complete radiological and histological Cerebral white matter disorders may be associated with profound neurobehavioral dysfunction. We report a 62-year-old man who had a slowly progressive 25-year history of personality change, psychosis, mood disorder, and dementia. Neurologic examination disclosed abulia, impaired memory retrieval, and
BACKGROUND
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is a marker of endothelial dysfunction and a new independent risk factor for adverse cerebrovascular events in small vessel disease. Conversely, L-arginine (LARG) may have a protective role.
METHODS
To assess ADMA, LARG levels and LARG/ADMA ratio in 16
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) can be confused with multiple sclerosis (MS). We report a man with a father diagnosed with MS via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The index patient was subsequently diagnosed with MS after MRI for
Endothelial dysfunction (ED), in particular cerebral ED, may be an essential biomarker for ischaemic cerebrovascular disease. However, there is no consensus on methods to best estimate cerebral ED. In this systematic review, we evaluate the use of l-arginine and NG -monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA)
A 55-year-old man with no history of stroke or migraine presented to the clinic with cognitive impairment and depression that had been experiencing for two years. Neurological examination showed bilateral pyramidal signs, and impairments in cognition and attention. Brain MRI revealed multiple
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a hereditary disease of small vessel caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene (NCBI Gene ID: 4854) located on chromosome 19p13.1. NOTCH3 consists of 33 exons which encode a protein of 2321 amino
