Abstract
⺠We review the genetics of MRI correlates of subcortical vascular dementia (sVaD). ⺠MRI correlates of sVaD includes white matter lesions, lacunes and microbleeds. ⺠White matter lesions are highly heritable. ⺠SNPs in APOE, NOTCH3 and the renin-angiotensin system are associated with sVaD. ⺠The first gemone wide association study identifies novel genes on chromosome 17.
