Abstract excerpt
Thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) is characterized by the observation of microhematuria and a thin glomerular basement membrane on kidney biopsy specimens. Its main cause is heterozygous mutations of COL4A3 or COL4A4, which also cause late-onset focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) or autosomal dominant Alport syndrome (ADAS). Thirteen TBMN cases were analyzed using Sanger sequencing, multiplex...
