Alport Syndrome, X-linked; Ats

Description

Alport syndrome is an inherited disorder of the basement membrane, resulting in progressive renal failure due to glomerulonephropathy, variable sensorineural hearing loss, and variable ocular anomalies (review by Kashtan, 1999).Alport syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous disorder, with all forms resulting from mutations in genes encoding type IV collagen, which is a major structural component of the basement membrane. Approximately 85% of cases of Alport syndrome are X-linked and about 15% are autosomal recessive (OMIM ); autosomal dominant inheritance (OMIM ) is rare (Kashtan, 1999).See also benign familial hematuria (BFH ), a phenotypically similar, but milder disorder.Alport syndrome is also a feature of 2 contiguous gene deletion syndromes involving the COL4A5 gene: Alport syndrome and diffuse leiomyomatosis (OMIM ) and Alport syndrome, mental retardation, midface hypoplasia, and elliptocytosis (AMME ).
