Learn About Retinal Vasculopathy with Cerebral Leukodystrophy

What is the definition of Retinal Vasculopathy with Cerebral Leukodystrophy?
Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukodystrophy and systemic manifestations (RVCL-S) affects the small blood vessels in the central nervous system and other organs. Symptoms begin in adulthood and can include loss of vision, Raynaud's disease, kidney and liver disease, and cognitive problems that get worse over time. Other symptoms may include migraines, gastrointestinal bleeding, and hypothyroidism. RVCL-S is caused by genetic variations in the TREX1 gene, and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Diagnosis is based on the symptoms, clinical exam, imaging studies of the brain, and may be confirmed by the results of genetic testing.
