DISEASE: Autosomal dominant pontine microangiopathy and leukoencephalopathy
Entry
H02718 Disease
Name
Autosomal dominant pontine microangiopathy and leukoencephalopathy
Description
Autosomal dominant pontine microangiopathy and leukoencephalopathy (PADMAL) is a rare hereditary cerebral small vessel disease characterized by multiple small infarctions in the pons. Mutations causing overproduction of COL4A1, encoding collagen type IV alpha 1 chain, have been identified in patients with this disease. Collagen type IV is one of the components of the brain vascular basement membrane responsible for maintaining mechanical stability.

Retinal arterial tortuosity (RATOR) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by tortuosity of the second and higher order retinal arterioles. It may be asymptomatic but may cause visual loss with recurrent retinal hemorrhages. It has been reported that RATOR is associated with mutations in the COL4A1 gene, which encodes a component of type IV collagen.
