Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) is an inherited renal disease caused by rare variants of COL4A5 on chromosome Xq22. Many studies have indicated that single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in exons can disrupt normal splicing process of the pre-mRNA by altering various splicing regulatory signals. The male patients with XLAS have a strong genotype-phenotype correlation. Confirming the effect of variants on...
