Pathogenic evaluation of synonymous COL4A5 variants in X‐linked Alport syndrome using a minigene assay
16 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) is a progressive, hereditary glomerular nephritis of variable severity caused by pathogenic COL4A5 variants. Currently, genetic testing is widely used for diagnosing XLAS; however, determining the pathogenicity of variants detected by such analyses can be difficult. Intronic variants or synonymous variants may cause inherited diseases by inducing aberrant splicing....
