Alport syndrome is a hereditary glomerular disease driven by pathogenic variants in COL4A3–COL4A5 that compromise the α3–α4–α5 type IV collagen scaffold, manifesting as persistent hematuria, proteinuria, and ultimately end-stage renal disease.

X-linked Alport syndrome: an SSCP-based mutation survey over all 51 exons of the COL4A5 gene
The COL4A5 gene encodes the alpha 5 (type IV) collagen chain and is defective in X-linked Alport syndrome (AS). Here, we report the first systematic analysis of all 51 exons of COL4A5 gene in a series of 201 Italian AS patients.

Original Article Detection of COL4A5 gene mutations in Chinese patients with Alport’s syndrome
Background. Mutations in the COL4A5 gene, encod-ing the 5 chain of type IV collagen, are responsible for X-linked Alport’s syndrome (XLAS), a progressive nephropathy characterized by glomerular basement membrane abnormalities and usually associated with ...
