Cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CARASIL) is an extremely rare hereditary cerebral small vessel disease caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the gene coding for high-temperature requirement A serine peptidase 1 (HtrA1). Given the rare nature of the disease, delays in diagnosis and misdiagnosis are not uncommon. In this article, we reported the first case of CARASIL from Saudi Arabia with a novel homozygous variant c.

Introduction: Cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CARASIL) is a rare autosomal recessive etiology of cerebral small-vessel disease. The bulk of CARASIL cases reported in the literature was from Japan and China. Herein, we report the first genetically confirmed case of CARASIL in the Arabic population.

Objective: To investigate the possible involvement of germline mutations in a neurologic condition involving diffuse white matter lesions.

Methods: The patients were 3 siblings born to healthy parents. We performed homozygosity mapping, whole-exome sequencing, site-directed mutagenesis, and immunoblotting.
