    ### Instruction:
    Is cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy inherited ?
    ### Response:
    This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered NOTCH3 gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder.  In most cases, an affected person inherits the mutation from one affected parent. A few rare cases may result from new mutations in the NOTCH3 gene.
