Novel mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 in Chinese patients with Alport Syndrome. [PDF]
Alport syndrome (AS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous, progressive nephropathy caused by mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5, which encode type IV collagen.

Common variants in the COL4A4 gene confer susceptibility to lattice degeneration of the retina. [PDF]
Lattice degeneration of the retina is a vitreoretinal disorder characterized by a visible fundus lesion predisposing the patient to retinal tears and detachment. The etiology of this degeneration is still uncertain, but it is likely that both genetic and

Case report: a novel heterozygous COL4A4 mutation causing autosomal dominant Alport syndrome
Background Autosomal Dominant Alport Syndrome (ADAS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5 genes. ADAS often presents with proteinuria and hematuria, and while progressive renal insufficiency can develop, it ...

The heterozygous mutation COL4A4 c.817-1G>A causes Alport syndrome in a Chinese family: a case report [PDF]
BackgroundAlport syndrome is an inherited glomerular disease that leads to progressive kidney failure, hearing loss, and eye problems. Diagnosis mostly relies on tests of tissue pathology and genetic analysis.

X-Linked and Autosomal Recessive Alport Syndrome: Pathogenic Variant Features and Further Genotype-Phenotype Correlations. [PDF]
Alport syndrome results from mutations in the COL4A5 (X-linked) or COL4A3/COL4A4 (recessive) genes. This study examined 754 previously- unpublished variants in these genes from individuals referred for genetic testing in 12 accredited diagnostic ...

Association of TIMP-1 and COL4A4 Gene Polymorphisms with Keratoconus in an Iranian Population
Purpose: Keratoconus (KC) is a bilateral and noninflammatory disease, characterized by progressive thinning and anterior protrusion of the cornea and may result in severe visual impairment due to irregular astigmatism. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are
