FAQ
What other health issues can be detected by NOTCH3 mutation testing?
The NOTCH3 mutation test is mainly done to identify CADASIL, but this test is also used to assess Lateral meningocele syndrome (LMS). LMS affects the nervous system and mainly the bones & muscles. Lateral meningoceles are projections surrounding the meninges through gaps in vertebrae and can affect the nerves extending from the spine to the entire body.
What is NOTCH3?
NOTCH3 is a gene present on the shorter arm (p-arm) of chromosome 19 in human cells. It is represented as on chromosome 19p13; and this gene codes for an important cell membrane protein. This protein is particularly important for the maintenance of blood vessels in the whole body including those that supply blood in the brain. A heterozygous mutation in this gene is known to cause CADASIL; wherein the brain blood vessels get obstructed.
What are the risk factors for CADASIL?
The following risk factors are known for CADASIL:
- Strong familial history of NOTCH3 mutation
- Familial history of frequent strokes and migraines
- Exposure to toxic that may cause spontaneous mutations in the NOTCH3 gene
