Abstract:
X-linked Alport syndrome (AS) caused by hemizygous disease-causing variants in COL4A5 primarily affects males. Females with a heterozygous state show a diverse phenotypic spectrum ranging from microscopic hematuria to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and extrarenal manifestations. In other X-linked diseases, skewed X-inactivation leads to preferential silencing of one X-chromosome and thus can determine the phenotype in females. We aimed to show a correlation between X-inactivation in blood and u...     »
