CADASIL-like cerebral vasculopathy in a patient with a heterozygous MYBPC3 likely pathogenic splice site variant
摘要
MYBPC3 (Myosin-binding site protein C3) alterations are associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, the neuroimaging features of these patients are not well-described in the literature. We present a unique case of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL)-like neuroimaging features in a middle-aged female, who harbors a heterozygous likely pathogenic splice site variant [c.26–2 A > G] in MYBPC3 [NM_000256.3]. The patient had negative genetic and electron microscopy test results for CADASIL. Our observations suggest that CADASIL-like cerebral vasculopathy may occur in MYBPC3-related disorders, thus highlighting the need for further characterization of neuroimaging features of patients with MYBPC3-related disorders.
