Background Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a single-gene disorder caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene, located on chromosome 19p13. NOTCH3 encodes a transmembrane receptor which plays a role in cellular differentiation and cell cycle regulation.
Case Report A 71-year-old female showing headache and memory impairment, familial history of stroke and having a missense mutation from proline to serine at codon 167 in the exon 4 on NOTCH3 gene. Five family members revealed the same mutation (c.499C>T), who presented migrainous headache and stroke. In this study, we have uncovered a novel NOTCH3 mutation at the nucleotide position 499 (c.499C>T; p.P167S) in a family with CADASIL.
Conclusions We suggested a missense mutation of proline to serine at codon 167 in exon 4 of the NOTCH3 gene, which resulted in the substitution of cytosine to thymine (c.499C>T) resulting migraine, stroke and vascular cognitive impairment.
Key Words: cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, c.499C>T, p.P167S.
