Clinical spectrum of CADASIL: a study of 7 families

TLDR
In this paper, the authors studied 148 subjects belonging to seven families by magnetic resonance imaging and genetic linkage analysis and found that all symptomatic subjects had prominent signal abnormalities on MRI with hyperintense lesions on T2-weighted images in the subcortical white matter and basal ganglia.

Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

TL;DR: This scientific statement provides an overview of the evidence on vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia and provides evidence that subcortical forms of VCI with white matter hyperintensities and small deep infarcts are common and risk markers for VCI are the same as traditional risk factors for stroke.

Vascular Cognitive Impairment

TL;DR: Findings from 5 large, randomized studies of the symptomatic treatment of probable and possible vascular dementia indicate that the presence of a cholinergic deficit is not required for the anticholinesterases to produce cognitive improvement, and so the cholin allergic hypothesis is neither necessary nor sufficient to explain the effects of these drugs.

Management of Stroke in Infants and Children A Scientific Statement From a Special Writing Group of the American Heart Association Stroke Council and the Council on Cardiovascular Disease in the Young

TL;DR: Evidence-based recommendations are provided for the prevention of ischemic stroke caused by sickle cell disease, moyamoya disease, cervicocephalic arterial dissection, and cardiogenic embolism.

The phenotypic spectrum of CADASIL: clinical findings in 102 cases.

TL;DR: The phenotypic spectrum and natural history of the disease in 102 affected individuals from 29 families with biopsy‐proven CADASIL were delineated, and the extent of disability in different age groups was studied.

A second-generation linkage map of the human genome.

TL;DR: A linkage map of the human genome has been constructed based on the segregation analysis of 814 newly characterized polymorphic loci containing short tracts of (C-A)n repeats in a panel of DNAs from eight large families.

The behavioural and motor consequences of focal lesions of the basal ganglia in man

TL;DR: The frequent occurrence of dystonia and less commonly of parkinsonism with lentiform lesions emphasize the motor roles of putamen and globus pallidus, and the more complex cognitive role of this basal ganglia structure.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy maps to chromosome 19q12

TL;DR: Genetic linkage analysis in two unrelated families and Multilocus analysis with the location scores method established the best estimate for the location of the affected gene within a 14 centimorgan interval bracketed by D19S221 and D19 S222 loci.
