چکیده

alport syndrome is a progressive hereditary nephritis leading to renal failure. nearly all of the documents declare that alport syndrome is inherited as x-linked dominant trait and reports of autosomal inheritance form is very rare. this paper presents an iranian large alport family with autosomal recessive inheritance. in our patients alport disease was confirmed with electron microscopic studies of renal biopsies.

COL4A6 is dispensable for autosomal recessive Alport syndrome

Alport syndrome is caused by mutations in the genes encoding α3, α4, or α5 (IV) chains. Unlike X-linked Alport mice, α5 and α6 (IV) chains are detected in the glomerular basement membrane of autosomal recessive Alport mice, however, the significance of this finding remains to be investigated. We therefore generated mice lacking both α3 and α6 (IV) chains and compared their renal function and su...

Autosomal recessive Alport syndrome: an in-depth clinical and molecular analysis of five families.

BACKGROUND Alport syndrome (ATS) is a progressive inherited nephropathy characterized by irregular thinning, thickening and splitting of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) often associated with hearing loss and ocular symptoms. ATS has been shown to be caused by COL4A5 mutations in its X-linked form and by COL4A3 and COL4A4 mutations in its autosomal forms. METHODS Five families with a su...

Characterization of the peripheral retinopathy in X-linked and autosomal recessive Alport syndrome.

BACKGROUND Alport syndrome is an inherited disease resulting in kidney failure, hearing loss and ocular abnormalities. Alport syndrome is however often unrecognized, and the aim of this study was to characterize the associated but rarely described peripheral retinopathy and determine whether its demonstration was diagnostically helpful. METHODS Index cases were diagnosed with Alport syndrome ...

Early RAAS Blockade Exerts Renoprotective Effects in Autosomal Recessive Alport Syndrome.

Alport syndrome is a progressive renal disease caused by mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 genes that encode collagen type IV alpha 3, alpha 4, and alpha 5 chains, respectively. Because of abnormal collagen chain, glomerular basement membrane becomes fragile and most of the patients progress to end-stage renal disease in early adulthood. COL4A5 mutation causes X-linked form of Alport synd...
