Brain MRI lesion volume in cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) correlates with disability and cognitive function. Age, but not sex or Notch3 genotype, influenced lesion load.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an inherited small-vessel disease linked to Notch3 gene mutations.
  • Brain MRI reveals abnormalities in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals with CADASIL.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between total brain MRI lesion load and clinical manifestations in CADASIL.
  • To assess the impact of demographic factors on quantitative MRI metrics in CADASIL patients.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative MRI analysis was conducted on 64 individuals diagnosed with CADASIL.
  • A semi-automated segmentation method utilizing local thresholds was employed to quantify MRI lesions.

Main Results:

  • Significant correlations were observed between MRI total lesion volume and disability scores (Rankin Scale) on T1- and proton density (PD)-weighted images.
  • Total lesion volume showed a significant inverse correlation with cognitive performance (Mini-Mental State Examination).
  • Lesion load correlated with age, but not sex or Notch3 genotype.

Conclusions:

  • Brain MRI lesion volume in CADASIL is associated with clinical characteristics, including disability and cognitive impairment.
  • Quantitative MRI may serve as a valuable outcome measure in future CADASIL therapeutic trials, warranting longitudinal investigation.
