Spectrum of Mutations in Biopsy-Proven CADASIL: Implications for Diagnostic Strategies
Arch Neurol 62:1091-1094, Peters,N.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Almost 90% of mutations could be detected within a few exons (exons 2-6). Thus, genetic testing should initially be focused on these exons, with some variation depending on the population in whom it is being performed. Yet, genetic testing for CADASIL is associated with a nameable proportion of false-negative results. Cases with a high index of clinical suspicion should be investigated by skin biopsy if genetic testing is negative.
