Abstract excerpt
Fechtner syndrome is an autosomal-dominant variant of Alport syndrome, manifested by nephritis, sensorineural hearing loss, cataract formation, macrothrombocytopenia, and polymorphonuclear inclusion bodies. As opposed to autosomal-recessive and X-linked Alport syndromes, which have been genetically well studied, the genetic basis of Fechtner syndrome remains elusive. We have mapped the disease-causing gene to the...
