Abstract excerpt
In a large Italian family with adult-onset Alport syndrome, molecular analysis of the COL4A5 gene, which encodes the alpha 5(IV)-chain of glomerular basement membrane collagen, revealed a GGC-->AGC change in exon 38, resulting in substitution of a serine for a glycine in position 1143 of the polypeptide chain, between interruptions 19 and 20 of the triple helical domain. The mutation leads to loss of a...
