Objectives: Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common monogenic hereditary small cerebral vessel disease, which is caused by mutation of the neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 3 gene (NOTCH3). The exon 24 encodes EGF-like repeats, variants on this exon are rare. Here, we report a novel heterozygous variant c.3892 T >G (p. Cys1298Gly) on exon 24 of NOTCH3 gene in a 57-year-old Chinese woman.

Materials And Methods: We present a patient with clinical manifestations, laboratory examination and imaging reveal suspicion of CADASIL. The family and genetic test and pathological examination were performed.

Results: Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse leukoencephalopathy with hyperintense signals in the bilateral temporal poles, periventricular white matter, centrum semiovale, basal ganglia, frontal and parietal cortex and subcortical areas bilaterally. Molecular Genetic testing identified a heterozygous variant c.3892 T >G (p. Cys1298Gly) on exon 24 of NOTCH3 gene. Her brother and his son were confirmed as subclinical carriers of the variant. The skin biopsy was negative, but the pathologic role of this mutation is predicted by using the DynaMut database and results showed the stability of the NOTCH gene is decreased.

Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of exon 24 mutations reported from China and the variant of c.3892 T >G (p. Cys1298Gly) on exon 24 of NOTCH3 has not been reported so far. Our report broadens the mutation spectrum of the NOTCH3 gene in CADASIL.
