COL4A5 gene mutation associated Alport's syndrome in a two-year old boy: a case report
Background: Alport's disease is an inherited disorder which may lead to End Stage Renal Disease, hearing loss and ocular abnormalities. It is as a result of mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4 and COL4A5 genes leading to collagen type 4 abnormalities in the ...

Type IV collagen : Characterization of the COL4A5 gene, mutations in Alport syndrome, and autoantibodies in Alport and Goodpasture syndromes [PDF]
Type IV collagen is only found in basement membranes, where it is the major structural component, providing a framework for the binding of other basement membrane components and a substratum for cells.

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 ...

Detection of mutations in COL4A5 in patients with Alport Syndrome
Alport syndrome (AS) can be caused by mutations in COL4A5, one of the six type IV collagen genes. For the purposes of confirming diagnoses, carrier screening and correlating genotype to phenotype, we have screened all 51 exons of this gene by SSCP ...

A Novel COL4A5 Mutation Identified in a Chinese Han Family Using Exome Sequencing
Alport syndrome (AS) is a monogenic disease of the basement membrane (BM), resulting in progressive renal failure due to glomerulonephropathy, variable sensorineural hearing loss, and ocular anomalies.
