Recruitment & Eligibility

Status: Recruiting

Sex: All

Target Recruitment: 200

Inclusion Criteria

•A diagnosis of hereditary cSVD
-CADASIL: Diagnosis is made by molecular genetic testing of the NOTCH3 gene or by detection of granular osmiophilic material (GOM) in ultrastructural electron microscopy analysis of a skin biopsy.
-CADASIL-like diseases: Diagnosis is made by molecular genetics, e.g. CADASIL type 2 with autosomal dominant inheritance of mutations in the HTRA1 gene or CADASIL like-diseases (mutations in the TREX1 gene)
-CARASIL: Diagnosis is made by molecular genetic testing for biallelic mutations in the HTRA1 gene.
•Ability to provide written informed consent or the presence of a legal guardian who can consent to inclusion in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

•Inclusion criteria are not met.
•Absence of the ability to provide written informed consent or the lack of a legal guardian who can consent to inclusion in the study.

Study & Design

Study Type: observational

Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Aim: to establish a comprehensive registry by systematically collecting and analyzing data (e.g., mutation, clinical manifestation, medication) from adult patients with a hereditary form of cerebral small vessel diseases in a single in-person or telephone visit

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
(1) impact of hereditary SVD on patients' daily activities and independence, understanding the extent of functional impairment using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), <br>(2) cognitive function by employing the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test, <br>(3) psychological impact of hereditary SVDs; this involves assessing mood and depression (utilizing tools like CES-D)<br>(4) social and lifestyle factors that may independently or interactively influence the course of hereditary SVD
