Method for the diagnosis of CADASIL

摘要

Genotypic diagnosis of CADASIL for symptomatic or at risk individuals or fetuses belonging to a family suspected of being affected by CADASIL is carried out by detecting DNA polymorphisms genetically linked to the mutated gene responsible for CADASIL, these DNA polymorphisms being located in the genetic interval of the chromosome 19 flanked by the microsatellites D198221 and D19S215 and including these microsatellites.
