Abstract excerpt
About 85% of Alport syndrome is an X-linked semi-dominant condition caused by mutations in the collagen gene, COL4A5. The large size and high GC content of this gene have presented diagnostic laboratories with problems in identifying mutations with greater than about a 50% success rate since the gene was first cloned 16 years ago. An RNA based approach is adopted here for a first pass mutation scanning coupled...
