#Genetic & #SVD
🧬🧠

✅1,5% of cerebral #SVD are #monogenic disorders
✅AR, AD or X-linked
☝🏼Absence of family history doesn't rule out diagnosis because of
👉de novo mutation
👉reduced expression or
👉incomplete penetrance

#Genetic & #SVD

When to #suspect?🕵️‍♀️

✅early onset stroke without vascular RFs
✅systemic features and neuroimaging of an specific monogenic disorder
✅consanguinity
✅negative work up for other causes of SVD

In daily practice #CMB represents a radiological marker of #small vessel disease

In general:

🩸Strictly #deep👉hypertension-related SVD ie #arteriolosclerosis
🩸Mixed 👉combination👆, but must think #hereditary #SVD, ie #CADASIL Image
