Brief Summary: This is an observational study to better understand the risk factors and progression of CADASIL a leading cause of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia VCID 500 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 5 years
Detailed Description: Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy CADASIL is the most common monogenic vascular dementia Individuals with CADASIL are destined to develop vascular cognitive impairment and dementia VCID which can be studied in pre-symptomatic and prodromal disease stages to detect the earliest changes in biological fluids neuroimaging and the emerging phenotype of symptomatic VCID
The objective of the proposed research is to exploit an autosomal dominant vascular dementia as a model to investigate specific features of VCID and to examine interactions with risk factors impacting the aging life course
The study will enroll a total of 500 participants with a CADASIL family history who have had a genetic test for a NOTCH3 variant Participants will complete a clinical interview a neurological exam neurocognitive and behavior assessments MRI and a blood draw at each study visit Participants will complete 3 in-person visits in total as part of this study baseline visit 2 18 months after baseline visit 3 36 months after baseline Additional contact will occur by phone mail email or the internet as needed and will be referred to as remote visits
