Mental disorders due to cerebral microvascular disease have been known for over 100 years. Recently, an autosomal dominant form of cerebral arteriopathy (CADASIL) has been described in association with a Notch3 family gene on the short arm of chromosome 19. CADASIL causes subcortical lacunar infarction and dementia in over 80% of cases and depression in a large proportion of patients. Clinically, CADASIL may appear to be very similar to hypertensive microvascular disease (Binswanger's disease), a condition that is seen in the elderly. This article reviews the clinical, pathologic, and genetic features of CADASIL. CADASIL is of interest to neurologists and psychiatrists because it is the first syndrome of vascular dementia and depression with an identified gene. How the gene causes the widespread arteriopathy is not yet known. Insights gained from the study of CADASIL should help us better understand its etiology, as well as the options for treatment of the more common forms of microvascular disease seen in the elderly.

MODY (maturity-onset diabetes of the young) is an autosomal dominant form of diabetes that is usually manifested before the 25-year of life. This type of diabetes is caused by defects in the primary insulin secretion. There are several types of MODY, which are monogenic diseases, where mutations in a single gene are responsible for a particular type of MODY. Currently, there are eleven types of MODY, from which the most common types are MODY 2 and MODY 3 (with mutations on GCK and HNF1A genes, respectively). We identified very rare MODY 7 type of diabetes in three family members by MLPA analysis.
