Welcome to the home of the CADASIL Research and Support Trust.

Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Sub-cortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalophathy

CADASIL is the commonest form of hereditary vascular dementia, yet doctors and the public are largely unaware of this illness. This Trust has been set up by Mr Jack Shields, who was diagnosed with CADASIL in 2001, to raise awareness of CADASIL and to provide information and co-ordinate research into the illness.

The CADASIL Research and Support Trust is an international charity registered in the UK (No. 5214344)

The charity's aims and objectives are:

To increase awareness of CADASIL
To provide information and support to CADASIL sufferers, their families, and doctors
To co-ordinate research into positive treatments for CADASIL
To co-ordinate research into a cure for CADASIL
To develop a treatment centre for CADASIL sufferers

Letting others know about the CADASIL Trust is now easier. Please go to our TELL A FRIEND page
