The variable course of women with X-linked Alport Syndrome [PDF]
X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) arises from mutations in the COL4A5 gene encoding the α5-chain of type IV collagen and is associated with hematuria, ocular abnormalities and high-tone sensorineural hearing loss. Nearly all affected males have decreased kidney function resulting in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as early as the second decade of life. It

Phenotypic heterogeneity in females with X-linked Alport syndrome [PDF]
Aims: X-linked Alport syndrome (AS) is a monogenic inherited disorder of type IV collagen, a structural protein in the kidney and cochlea. Males typically exhibit a severe phenotype with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and/or deafness by early adulthood.

Tale of two nephropathies; co-occurring Alport syndrome and IgA nephropathy, a case report
Background Alport Syndrome and IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) are both disorders that can cause hematuria. Alport syndrome is most commonly an X-linked disease, caused by COL4A5 mutation. Mutations of COL4A3 and COL4A4 on chromosome two are also common causes of
