    The researchers included D-CAA mutation carriers with confirmed APP (amyloid precursor protein) mutations or ≥1 lobe ICH.


    Researchers found cortical calcification in 15/81 (19% [95% CI 11-29]) D-CAA mutation carriers (15/69 with symptoms and 0/12 pre-symptoms) and 1/59 (2% [95% CI 0-9]) patients with sporadic CAA.


    It can be seen that calcification of the occipital cortex is very common in D-CAA, but it is rare in sporadic CAA.
