The Molecular Genetics of the Risk Factors of Vascular Dementias*

Abstract: Secondary prevention of the age-associated dementias requires clarification of the risk factors. Vascular dementia is mainly due to cerebral hypoxic or hemorrhagic infarcts as a consequence of cerebrovascular disease. For this reason attention must be paid to the risk factors of cerebrovascular diseases. Both environmental and genetic causes determine the manifestation of these risk factors, for example, factors related to cholesterol and glucose metabolism, regulation of blood pressure and inflammatory cascad… Show more

“…Less than 2% comprise a remaining, heterogeneous group of sometimes treatable dementias. In the last issue of Clinical Neuroradiology, Hentschel & Koelsch described genetic variants (polymorphisms) modifying the impact of atherosclerosis risk factors and thus influencing the manifestation of cerebrovascular lesions and vascular dementia [4]. Here, we attempt to define the neuroradiologist's role in the work-up of vascular dementias, which is targeted to recognize diseases, which at first glance look like vascular lesions.…”
