Welcome to the CADASIL website; a resource for those diagnosed with CADASIL, their relatives and carers. As CADASIL is a rare condition, little reliable information is available on the internet. On this website we hope to be able to provide up-to-date and accurate information. We hope that the website will expand over the coming months and years and would welcome input from patients and family members. In addition to providing useful information for CADASIL patients and relatives we also supply links to other websites where more information can be found.
The information on this website has been primarily provided by Professor Hugh Markus, Professor of Stroke Medicine at the University of Cambridge and Consultant Neurologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge and by Glen Brice, Genetic Counsellor from the Clinical Genetics Department at St George's Hospital, London. Together, we have been involved in caring for CADASIL sufferers and their families for many years and have a wide range of experience in dealing with the problems associated with the condition.
As with any medical condition, we do rely on hearing the experiences of patients and family members in order to develop new services which better cater to the needs of those affected. If you have any suggestions for improvement to the website or new sections which you think we should add, please do contact us.

We would like to take the opportunity to remind you that anyone who is interested in participating in our research (either as a CADASIL patient or as a healthy volunteer) would be very welcome to get in touch. If you would like to sign-up to be contacted about research then please contact: mmh64@medschl.cam.ac.uk. For non-research related queries please email info@cambridgestroke.com.
We are looking for healthy volunteers to help out with our new research project at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge. This project will help us to understand more about fatigue after stroke and in small vessel disease.
