It is usually associated with amyloid beta. This form has been associated with "Abeta-related angiitis".
However, there are other types:
- the "Icelandic type" is associated with Cystatin C.
- the "British type" is associated with ITM2B (also known as "BRI").
Research is currently being conducted to determine if there is a link between cerebral amyloid angiopathy and ingestion of excessive quantities of aluminium, as occurred in the Camelford water pollution incident.
