Abstract excerpt
By means of PCR and direct sequencing, all 51 exons and their neighbouring intronic sequences of the COL4A5 gene were analyzed to detect mutations in 17 members from a Chinese family with X-linked Alport syndrome(XLAS). At the position 2240 in exon 26, a single-base deletion(2240deIC) is found in all male patients, and a heterozygous deletion is found in all female patients, whereas no mutation is found in normal...
