Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive Alport syndrome is caused by mutations in the COL4A3 and COL4A4 genes which code for the alpha3 and alpha4 chains of type IV collagen. These mutations result in haematuria, progressive renal impairment and often hearing loss, lenticonus and retinopathy. We describe here the mutations demonstrated by screening the 47 coding exons of the COL4A4 gene in six families with autosomal recessive...
