Alport Syndrome
A.K. was a 5-year-old boy who presented to the pediatric nephrology clinic with a recent finding of microscopic hematuria and proteinuria on routine screening. The analysis was repeated two weeks later with persistence of hematuria and proteinuria. A complete blood count (CBC) and a metabolic panel (Chem7) were both normal. Renal ultrasound was performed which was also normal and without hydron...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Alport syndrome
chain altered distribution in a much higher proportion of patients with X-linked AS [5]. It is our experience that skin biopsy, examined with conventional, and if needed, with confocal microscopy, is able to virtually detect (almost) all cases of X-linked AS [5], thus allowing to avoid or to postpone more invasive and/or expensive diagnostic procedure like renal biopsy and genetic investigation...
متن کاملX-linked Alport syndrome
X-linked Alport syndrome (AS) is a heritable disorder which is associated with mutations in the type IV collagen oc5(IV) chain gene (COL4A5) located on chromosome X. Following renal transplantation, an average of 6% of male AS patients develop anti-GBM nephritis. We studied the specificity of the antibodies against type IV collagen in the serum of a patient with COL4A5 partial deletion. The spe...
متن کاملAlport syndrome: clinical update.
This review of the literature on Alport syndrome (AS) places emphasis on genetic and clinical issues related to the sensorineural hearing loss in type III and type IV X-linked AS. The review covers prevalence, medical issues, genetic issues, audiologic findings, vestibular findings, the pathophysiology of hearing loss in type III AS, age- and phenotype-specific normative data and concludes with...
متن کاملAlport syndrome. Molecular genetic aspects.
Alport syndrome (AS) is a progressive renal disease that is characterised by hematuria and progressive renal failure, and often accompanied by progressive high-tone sensorineural hearing loss and ocular changes in form of macular flecks and lenticonus. AS is a genetic heterogenous disease, and X-linked dominant in about 85% of the families. The autosomal recessive and dominant forms constitute ...
