The effect of NOTCH3 pathogenic variant position on CADASIL disease severity: NOTCH3 EGFr 1-6 pathogenic variant are associated with a more severe phenotype and lower survival compared with EGFr 7-34 pathogenic variant
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE: CADASIL is a small-vessel disease caused by a cysteine-altering pathogenic variant in one of the 34 epidermal growth factor-like repeat (EGFr) domains of the NOTCH3 protein. We recently found that pathogenic variant in EGFr domains 7-34 have an unexpectedly high frequency in the general population (1:300). We hypothesized that EGFr 7-34 pathogenic variant more frequently cause a much milder phenotype, thereby explaining an important part of CADASIL disease variability. METHODS: Age at first stroke, survival and white matter hyperintensity volume were compared between 664 CADASIL patients with either a NOTCH3 EGFr 1-6 pathogenic variant or an EGFr 7-34 pathogenic variant. The frequencies of NOTCH3 EGFr 1-6 and EGFr 7-34 pathogenic variant were compared between individuals in the genome Aggregation Database and CADASIL patients. RESULTS: CADASIL patients with an EGFr 1-6 pathogenic variant have a 12-year earlier onset of stroke than those with an EGFr 7-34 pathogenic variant, lower survival, and higher white matter hyperintensity volumes. Among diagnosed CADASIL patients, 70% have an EGFr 1-6 pathogenic variant, whereas EGFr 7-34 pathogenic variant strongly predominate in the population. CONCLUSION: NOTCH3 pathogenic variant position is the most important determinant of CADASIL disease severity, with EGFr 7-34 pathogenic variant predisposing to a later onset of stroke and longer survival.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
