Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene, resulting in subcortical infarctions and leukoencephalopathy. It predominantly affects the brain's small blood arteries, resulting in repeated ischemic episodes including transient ischemic attacks and strokes leading to cognitive impairment and mental symptoms. We provide a case study of a 25-year-old patient suspected of having meningoencephalitis.

The gold standard for diagnosis is genetic testing.

Article Synopsis
  • - RNA binding proteins (RBPs) are crucial in regulating gene expression and are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, making them important in both cell function and disease.
  • - The RBP Image Database compiles data on the subcellular locations of 301 RBPs in human liver and cervical cancer cell lines, based on extensive immuno-fluorescence studies.
  • - This database features around 250,000 microscopy images, a curated vocabulary for easy navigation, and a user-friendly interface for quick access to information, and is available for free online.
