CADASIL syndrome, multiple sclerosis, genetics, small vessel diseaseAbstract
Three clinical cases of small vessel disease of the same family have been described. At the same time, in one patient (clinical case 3, daughter) CADASIL syndrome was verified using molecular genetic counseling, in the parents of the patient (clinical case 1 and 2), this diagnosis can be assumed taking into account the anamnesis, the clinical course of the disease and the results of MRI.
