- Abstract
- Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with
subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL)
is commonly overlooked or misdiagnosed owing to its
recent identification. It is characterized clinically by recurrent
cerebral infarcts, usually appearing between the ages
of 30 and 50 years, subcortical dementia, and pseudobulbar
palsy. It begins with migraine with aura in approximately
one-third of patients. The pathological hallmark of
angiopathy is the presence of characteristic granular
osmiophilic material (GOM) within the basal lamina of
smooth muscle cells. The defective gene in CADASIL is
Notch3, which encodes a large transmembrane receptor,
and 70% of missense mutations are in exons 3 and 4. Each
gene defect leads to either a gain or loss of a cysteine
residue in the extracellular N-terminal domain of the molecule.
We report the case of a 53-year-old woman admitted
to the hospital for transient ischemic attack and stroke-like
episodes recurrent since age 43 years. The patient had
pseudobulbar palsy, pyramidal signs, and cognitive impairment
but not frank dementia. Cerebral MRI showed
periventricular diffuse and confluent ischemic lesions.
Ultrastructural study revealed an abnormal deposition of
granular osmiophilic material (GOM) within the basal lamina
in skin capillaries. Direct sequence analysis of the
Notch3 gene was performed. Since no mutation was detected
in exons 3 and 4, the remaining exons were sequenced
and a missense mutation, CGC-TGC in codon 1006 of exon
19 was found. The mutation led to a gain of a cysteine
residue. This is the first missense mutation in codon 1006
of exon 19 of the Notch3 gene to be described in Italy and
the second reported in the literature. (literal)
