In view of recent evidence demonstrating the relatively high frequency of NOTCH3 mutations in the population, and their potential role in promoting small-vessel disease, progress in the development of therapies for NOTCH3-associated small-vessel disease is urgently needed.Ĭopyright © 2021 American Society for Investigative Pathology. It highlights knowledge gaps and future research directions. This review offers a summary of the literature supporting and challenging the relevance of these mechanisms, together with an overview of available preclinical experiments derived from these mechanisms. This review discusses two key pathophysiological mechanisms believed to contribute to the emergence and progression of small-vessel disease associated with NOTCH3 mutations: abnormal Notch3 aggregation and aberrant Notch3 signaling. A deeper understanding of underlying molecular mechanisms and clearly defined targets are needed to promote the development of therapies. This kind of relation may considered to be a shortcut to define two (directional) aggregations. In addition, parameters from and size may be set in order. Each bucket may be sorted based on its key, count or its sub-aggregations. Zero or more sort fields may be specified together with the corresponding sort order. There are currently no disease-modifying therapies for small-vessel disease, including those associated with NOTCH3 mutations. According to the wording used by the site of the BOUML UML toolbox, 'directional' has to be understood as 'unidirectional' (opposed to 'bidirectional') : aggregation : to define a bi-directional aggregation, the code generators will produce two attributes whose names are the roles's name. A parent pipeline aggregation which sorts the buckets of its parent multi-bucket aggregation. Growing evidence indicates that other types of mutations in NOTCH3, including cysteine-sparing missense mutations or frameshift and premature stop codons, can lead to small-vessel disease phenotypes of variable severity or penetrance.
Mutations in the NOTCH3 gene can lead to small-vessel disease in humans, including the well-characterized cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), a condition caused by NOTCH3 mutations altering the number of cysteine residues in the extracellular domain of Notch3.
