Key developments include the identification of monogenic stroke syndromes, such as cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, and cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 and HTRA1 genes, respectively. This evidence concerns the gene NOTCH3 and Leukoencephalopathy.
