Novel mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 in Chinese patients with Alport Syndrome. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Alport syndrome (AS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous, progressive nephropathy caused by mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5, which encode type IV collagen.

Differential expression of COL4A3 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

open access: yes, 2022
Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression ...

Heterozygous COL4A3/COL4A4 mutations: the hidden part of the iceberg?

open access: yesNephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2021
ABSTRACT Background Single mutations in COL4A3/COL4A4 genes have been described in patients with autosomal dominant Alport syndrome and thin basement membrane nephropathy, without a shared definition of these patients within the medical community.

COL4A3 mutations and their clinical consequences in thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) [PDF]

open access: yesKidney International, 2004
Thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) is often caused by mutations in the COL4A3 and COL4A4 genes.We examined 62 unrelated individuals diagnosed with TBMN by renal biopsy (N= 49, 79%) or a positive family history of hematuria but without a biopsy (N= 13, 21%) for mutations in the COL4A3 gene and the COL4A3/COL4A4 promoter. All 52 exons of COL4A3 as

Associations of high-altitude polycythemia with polymorphisms in PIK3CD and COL4A3 in Tibetan populations [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Genomics, 2018
Background High-altitude polycythemia (HAPC) is a chronic high-altitude disease that can lead to an increase in the production of red blood cells in the people who live in the plateau, a hypoxia environment, for a long time. The most frequent symptoms of

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid ameliorates renal injury induced by COL4A3 mutation

open access: yesKidney International
COL4A3/A4/A5 mutations have been identified as critical causes of Alport syndrome and other genetic chronic kidney diseases. However, the underlying pathogenesis remains unclear, and specific treatments are lacking. Here, we constructed a transgenic Alport syndrome mouse model by generating a mutation (Col4a3 p.G799R) identified previously from one ...

COL4A3 is degraded in allergic asthma and degradation predicts response to anti-IgE therapy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
BACKGROUND Asthma is a heterogeneous syndrome substantiating the urgent requirement for endotype-specific biomarkers. Dysbalance of fibrosis and fibrolysis in asthmatic lung tissue leads to reduced levels of the inflammation-protective collagen 4 ...
