Abstract excerpt
Alport syndrome (AS) is a progressive hereditary glomerulonephritis presented with hematuria, progressive renal failure, sensorineural deafness, and ocular lesions. Females with X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) have variable phenotypes, from asymptomatic hematuria to renal failure. In order to understand the possible mechanism of different phenotypes in female XLAS, we analyzed mRNA expression level of the mutant...
