TAG-SVD: Taiwan Associated Genetic and Nongenetic Small Vessel Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The TAG-SVD enrolled patients with clinical and neuroimaging features of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). All enrolled patients will receive next-generation sequence (NGS) with probes designed to target five candidate CSVD genes, and patients will be divided into genetic or non-genetic groups accordingly. Their clinical features and outcome will be followed for at least 2 years.

Genetic group Patients who have positive DNA results by NGS screening of the following 5 genes: NOTCH3 (19q13.12), HTRA1 (10q26.13), GLA (Xq22.1), TREX1 (3p1.31) and COL4A1 (13q34). |
Diagnostic Test: MRI
Patients will repeat study-protocol MRI at baseline (enrollment) and at least once in 1 year or 2 years follow-up (depends on availability).

Nongenetic group Patients who have negative DNA results by NGS screening . |
Diagnostic Test: MRI
Patients will repeat study-protocol MRI at baseline (enrollment) and at least once in 1 year or 2 years follow-up (depends on availability).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of patients with incident stroke [2 years]
Clinical stroke, including transient ischemic attack, ischemic stroke, or intracerebral hemorrhage. The stroke is defined by a focal neurological deficits lasting more than 24 hours, with accompanied neuroimaging evidence of infarct or hemorrhage in corresponding brain area.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of patients with incident dementia [2 years]
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), vascular dementia (VaD), or Alzheimer's dementia or Vascular dementia according to latest diagnostic criteria. Alzheimer's disease diagnostic criteria: National Institute of Aging-Alzheimer's Association workgroups on diagnostic guidelines for Alzheimer's disease (PMID: 21514247) Vascular dementia diagnostic criteria: Diagnosis and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition
