Effects of a Novel COL4A3 Homozygous/Heterozygous Splicing Mutation on the Mild Phenotype in a Family With Autosomal Recessive Alport Syndrome and a Literature Review
1 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alport syndrome involves chronic progressive kidney failure and extrarenal organ damage caused by COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 mutations. METHODS: We initially discerned a COL4A3 splicing mutation via next-generation sequencing. Next, we used bioinformatics, renal biopsy pathology, and an in vitro minigene experiment. Complementary analysis of clinical data was carried out, and we explored the...
