Case Report: Evaluation of COL4A5 non-canonical splicing variants in two families
IntroductionAlport syndrome is one of the most prevalent monogenic kidney diseases, resulting from the defects in COL4A3, COL4A4, and/or COL4A5 genes. Interpretation of non-canonical splicing variants can be challenging.

Three intronic variants altering RNA splicing were identified in the CLCN5 gene by minigene assay
Background: The Dent disease 1 is a rarely inherited renal tubular disease caused by variants in the CLCN5 gene. Increasing evidence suggests that many intronic variants can affect the normal splicing of pre-mRNA by altering various splicing regulatory signals. Therefore, this study aims to provide novel insights into the impact of intronic variants of

Case Report: a novel non-canonical splice site variant in COL4A5 in a patient with Alport syndrome
Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by mutations in type IV collagen genes, clinically characterized by progressive renal function deterioration. Despite advances in genetic screening technologies, cases resulting from non-
