COL4A1 and COL4A2 mutations and disease: insights into pathogenic mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

Human molecular genetics - 15 Oct 2012

Kuo Debbie S, Labelle-Dumais Cassandre, Gould Douglas B

Abstract excerpt

Heterotrimers composed of collagen type IV alpha 1 (COL4A1) and alpha 2 (COL4A2) constitute one of the most abundant components of nearly all basement membranes. Accordingly, mutations in COL4A1 or COL4A2 are pleiotropic and contribute to a broad spectrum of disorders, including myopathy, glaucoma and hemorrhagic stroke. Here, we summarize the contributions of COL4A1 and COL4A2 mutations in human disease,...
