Opinion statement

CADASIL is a life-threatening and disabling disease. Despite the progress achieved so far, no therapies able to limit the disease progression have been found and only empiric treatments can be employed to relieve the main disease symptoms. Further in vivo studies as well as data aggregation and multi-centre controlled clinical trials are needed to confirm the emerging findings in order to identify evidence-based therapies for CADASIL.

J Cereb Blood Flow Metab. 2012;32:2171–80. The results of the present study support the view that VSMCs in different vascular beds are dissimilar and consequently the pathogenic effects of mutated NOTCH3 gene are also dissimilar in different arteries

Brain. 2016;139:1123–35. This research article examined the technical feasibility of targeted NOTCH3 exon skipping, by designing antisense oligonucleotides targeting exons 2–3, 4–5 and 6, which together harbor the majority of distinct CADASIL-causing mutations. This novel application of exon skipping is a first step towards the development of a rational therapeutic approach applicable to up to 94% of CADASIL-causing mutations
