Summary

Monogenic stroke disorders, though rare, offer insights into stroke mechanisms. This review focuses on CADASIL and familial cerebral amyloid angiopathy, highlighting their roles in understanding small vessel disease and sporadic conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Vascular Biology

Background:

  • Monogenic disorders represent a small fraction of stroke cases but are crucial for elucidating fundamental disease mechanisms.
  • Understanding genetic stroke subtypes aids in deciphering the pathophysiology of more common stroke forms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent findings on monogenic stroke.
  • To focus on Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) and familial cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent data on monogenic stroke.
  • Focus on genetic variants of small vessel disease and CAA.

Main Results:

  • CADASIL serves as a model for genetic ischemic small vessel disease.
  • Familial CAA shares characteristics with sporadic forms of the disease.

Conclusions:

  • Monogenic stroke disorders, exemplified by CADASIL and familial CAA, provide valuable insights into stroke pathogenesis.
  • These genetic conditions illuminate mechanisms relevant to both small vessel disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
