Cognitive decline in Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) primarily involves early executive dysfunction. Other cognitive domains worsen with age, with dementia patients showing diffuse deficits.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a pure vascular dementia model.
  • The full spectrum of cognitive deficits in CADASIL remains incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the cognitive profile in CADASIL patients across different age groups.
  • To compare cognitive function between CADASIL patients with and without dementia.
  • To investigate the relationship between cognitive domain performance and disease progression.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated 42 individuals with CADASIL (aged 35-73).
  • Assessed cognitive skills in executive functions, reasoning, attention, memory, and visuospatial abilities.

  • Compared cognitive performance based on age and dementia status; tested associations with stroke history.

    • Main Results:

    • Youngest patients showed deficits in attention, memory, and executive functions (100%).
    • Visuospatial abilities and reasoning declined with age, particularly after 60.
    • Dementia affected approximately 25% of patients, predominantly those over 60; age >60 correlated with severe cognitive deficits.

    Conclusions:

    • Early executive dysfunction is the hallmark of cognitive decline in CADASIL.
    • Cognitive deficits become widespread with age and are pronounced in dementia patients.
    • Episodic memory impairment in CADASIL is characterized by retrieval difficulties, with preserved encoding processes even in dementia.
