Authors' recommendations: The evidence on mutational screening of Notch3 gene in the diagnosis of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy is of low quality. There is no evidence that the definitive diagnosis implies a benefit for the patient's treatment. Some health sponsors consider it experimental, whereas others cover it in those cases where clinical signs and family history are consistent; the standard diagnostic methods are not conclusive and the genetic diagnosis is medically necessary.
