Effect of heterozygous pathogenic COL4A3 or COL4A4 variants on patients with X‐linked Alport syndrome
18 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alport syndrome is an inherited renal disease caused by mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5 genes. Coexisting mutations in either two of the three genes in Alport patients have been reported recently. However, the effect of heterozygous mutations in COL4A3 or COL4A4 genes in X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) patients is unclear. METHODS: Using targeted next-generation sequencing, six unrelated...
