International audience. Importance: Cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVDs) account for one-fifth of stroke cases. Numerous familial cases remain unresolved after routine screening of known CSVD genes.Objective: To identify novel genes and mechanisms associated with familial CSVD.Design, setting, and participants: This 2-stage study involved linkage analysis and a case-control study; linkage analysis and whole exome and genome sequencing were used to identify candidate gene variants in 2 large families with CSVD (9 patients with CSVD). Then, a case-control analysis was conducted on 246 unrelated probands, including probands from these 2 families and 244 additional probands. All probands (clinical onset
