Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The reported prevalence of Alport syndrome varies from one in 5000 to one in 53,000 individuals. This study estimated the frequencies of predicted pathogenic COL4A3-COL4A5 variants in sequencing databases of populations without known kidney disease. METHODS: Predicted pathogenic variants were identified using filtering steps based on the ACMG/AMP criteria, which considered collagen IV α3-α5 position 1...
