Abstract :

Monogenic conditions account for a considerable proportion of patients with cryptogenic stroke. In some disorders stroke is the prevailing manifestation whereas in others it is part of a wider phenotypic spectrum. The identification of stroke cases caused by monogenic disorders is important both for therapeutic decisions and genetic counselling, although they represent less than 1% of all stroke patients. This article emphasizes on genetic, pathological, and clinical features of single–gene disorders related to ischemic stroke
