Abstract

Alport syndrome (ATS) is a progressive hereditary nephropathy characterized by hematuria and proteinuria. It can be associated with extrarenal manifestations. In contrast, thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) is characterized by microscopic hematuria, is largely asymptomatic, and is rarely associated with proteinuria and end-stage renal disease. Mutations have been identified in the COL4A5 gene in ATS and in the COL4A3 and COL4A4 genes in ATS and TBMN. To date, more than 1000 different mutations in COL4A5, COL4A3, and COL4A4 are known. In this study mutational analysis by exon sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification was performed in a large European cohort of families with ATS and TBMN. Molecular diagnostic testing of 216 individuals led to the detection of 47 novel mutations, thereby expanding the spectrum of known mutations causing ATS and TBMN by up to 10 and 6%, respectively, depending on the database. Remarkably, a high number of ATS patients with only single mutations in COL4A3 and COL4A4 were identified. Additionally, three ATS patients presented with synonymous sequence variants that possible affect correct mRNA splicing, as suggested by in silico analysis. The results of this study clearly ...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
