Description : Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, or cerebroarterial amyloidosis, refers to a pathologic
process in which amyloid protein progressively deposits in cerebral blood vessel walls
with subsequent degenerative vascular changes that usually result in spontaneous cerebral
hemorrhage, ischemic lesions, and progressive dementia. APP-related CAA is the most
common form of CAA (Revesz et al., 2003, 2009).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the amyloid precursor protein gene (APP, 104760.0001);
