Abstract:
Alport syndrome (ATS) is a progressive hereditary nephropathy characterized by hematuria and proteinuria. It can be associated with extrarenal manifestations. In contrast, thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) is characterized by microscopic hematuria, is largely asymptomatic, and is rarely associated with proteinuria and end-stage renal disease. Mutations have been identified in the COL4A5 gene in ATS and in the COL4A3 and COL4A4 genes in ATS and TBMN. To date, more than 1000 different muta...     »
