Abstract excerpt
The X-linked form of Alport syndrome is associated with mutations in the COL4A5 gene encoding the alpha 5-chain of type IV collagen. By using PCR-amplification and direct sequencing we identified a novel mutation involving a deletion of the last two bases in the codon GGA for Glycine-1479 in exon 47 of the COL4A5 gene in a patient with a juvenile form of X-linked Alport syndrome with deafness. This two base...
