Late-onset intracerebral hemorrhage associated with COL4A1 variants: clinical and genetic perspectives.
Review in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPathogenic variants in the COL4A1 gene, which encodes a key structural component of the vascular basement membrane, compromise vascular integrity and contribute to a broad spectrum of cerebrovascular disorders. COL4A1-related intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) demonstrates a distinct bimodal age distribution, characterized by early-onset (perinatal/childhood) and late-onset (adulthood) presentations.Although early-onset phenotypes have been extensively characterized, late-onset intracerebral hemorrhage linked to COL4A1 mutations remains underrecognized, frequently obscured by coexisting vascular risk factors.
methodWe reported two probands with late-onset intracerebral hemorrhage associated with COL4A1. Structural modeling was performed to assess the potential impact of these variants on collagen stability. Additionally, we reviewed 27 previously published cases to evaluate the association between COL4A1 mutations and ICH.
resultsWe identified two probands with heterozygous COL4A1 missense variants: c.2086G > A (p.Gly696Ser) and a novel c.3110C > T (p.Pro1037Leu). Notably, the patient with the Pro1037Leu variant remained asymptomatic until experiencing a hemorrhagic event.Structural modeling suggests that these variants may induce subtle conformational changes that impair collagen stability. A review of 27 published cases further supports the notion that such intrinsic structural abnormalities, in combination with vascular risk factors (e.g., arterial hypertension), may increase susceptibility to intracerebral hemorrhage.
conclusionThe results underscore the importance of considering genetic testing in patients with unexplained or recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage, particularly those with a positive family history or syndromic features. While disease-specific therapies are currently lacking, early molecular diagnosis and rigorous control of modifiable risk factors may improve long-term outcomes and support informed genetic counseling.
