Mutations in theCOL4A4 and COL4A3 Genes Cause Familial Benign Hematuria
1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Familial benign hematuria (FBH) is a common autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the presence of persistent or recurrent hematuria. The clinical and pathologic features of this syndrome resemble those of early Alport syndrome (AS), and for this reason a common molecular defect has been proposed. The COL4A3/4 genes seem to be involved in both autosomal AS and FBH. This study involves a linkage analysis for...
