First report of a p.Cys484Tyr Notch3 mutation in a CADASIL patient with acute bilateral multiple subcortical infarcts—case report and brief review

Abstract Background CADASIL(Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy)is an inherited small vessel disease caused by mutations in NOTCH3 gene. Although NOTCH3 has numerous hotspots of gene mutations, mutations in exons 9 are rare. The p.C484T gene mutation type associated with it has not been reported in any relevant cases yet. Furthermore, CADASIL patients rarely present with acute bilateral multiple subcortical infarcts. Case presentation We report the case of a Chinese female patient with CADASIL who experienced “an acute bilateral subcortical infarction” because of“hemodynamic changes and hypercoagulability”. In genetic testing, we discovered a new Cys484Tyr mutation in exon 9, which has also been found in the patient’s two daughters. Conclusions It is important to note that this discovery not only expands the mutation spectrum of Notch3 mutations in CADASIL patients, but also examines the mechanism behind acute bilateral subcortical infarction in CADASIL patients via case reviews and literature reviews, in order to provide some clinical recommendations for early intervention, diagnosis, and treatment in similar cases in the future..
