Abstract
The cysteine-altering variants in NOTCH3 have been suggested to be associated with stroke, dementia, and cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), where aberrant blood pressure levels represent the characteristics of these diseases. We aimed to assess whether the cysteine-altering p.Arg544Cys (p.R544C; rs201118034) variant and common single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in NOTCH3 could contribute to systolic and diastolic blood pressure and related phenotypes in the Taiwan Biobank.
