PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review describes the clinical and radiographic features,
genetic determinants, and treatment options for the most well-characterized
monogenic disorders associated with stroke. RECENT FINDINGS: Stroke is a
phenotype of many clinically important inherited disorders. Recognition of the
clinical manifestations of genetic disorders associated with stroke is important
for accurate diagnosis and prognosis. Genetic studies have led to the discovery
of specific mutations associated with the clinical phenotypes of many inherited
stroke syndromes. SUMMARY: Several inherited causes of stroke have established
and effective therapies, further underscoring the importance of timely diagnosis.
