Abstract
HCCAA is a dominantly inherited disease which causes brain hemorrhages as a result of mutant cystatin C aggregation in carriers. Here, the authors show that n- acetyl cysteine can prevent aggregation of mutant protein in a cell model system and reverse protein deposition in the skin of mutation-carrying subjects.
