Splice-mediated insertion of an <i>Alu</i> sequence in the COL4A3 mRNA causing autosomal recessive Alport syndrome
1 Jan 1995
Abstract excerpt
Alport syndrome is a mainly X-linked hereditary disease of basement membranes characterized by progressive renal failure, deafness, and ocular lesions. The alpha 3(IV) and alpha 4(IV) collagen genes have been recently shown to be involved in the less frequent autosomal recessive form. When screening lymphocyte COL4A3 mRNAs from Alport patients, we found a mutant whose transcripts were disrupted by a 74 bp...
