Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive Alport syndrome (ARAS) results from mutations in the COL4A3 or COL4A4 gene. We analyzed the genotype and phenotype of 17 unrelated Chinese patients with ARAS. Clinical data were reviewed. All coding exons of COL4A3 and COL4A4 genes were PCR-amplified and sequenced from genomic DNA. We identified pathologic mutations in all patients, giving a mutation detection rate of 100%, with 82% in COL4A3...
