About this trial

The project aims to retrospectively and prospectively analyze a population of CADASIL patients in order to study the natural history of the disease by correlating the symptom spectrum with genetic risk and specific neuroradiological and biological markers

\- Stratifying patients according to their disease risk, this could contribute to the discovery of personalized therapeutic targets.
