A <i>Drosophila</i> model to screen Alport syndrome <i>COL4A5</i> variants for their functional pathogenicity
2024-03-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Alport syndrome is a hereditary chronic kidney disease, attributed to rare pathogenic variants in either of three collagen genes ( COL4A3/4/5 ) with most localized in COL4A5 . Trimeric type IV Collagen α3α4α5 is essential for the glomerular basement membrane that forms the kidney filtration barrier. A means to functionally assess the many candidate variants and determine pathogenicity is urgen...
