cureCADASIL
The mission of the cureCADASIL is to raise awareness of CADASIL, ensuring it will be universally recognized and understood by the medical community, enabling patients to be correctly diagnosed. We are dedicated to helping patients, families, caregivers, and other supporters touched by CADASIL.
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, usually called CADASIL, is a dominantly inherited condition that causes stroke and other impairments at a young age.
A genetic blood test is considered the gold standard for diagnosing CADASIL. Testing indicated when clinical findings (migraines with early-onset strokes and dementia), MRI findings, and family history raise a high index of suspicion.
Finding the right healthcare provider can be a challenge when you have a rare disease like CADASIL. Since 2012 we have been reaching out, educating doctors about CADASIL. This year we are putting CADASIL information into the hands of providers to support the families they serve.
