ABSTRACT:
Alport syndrome (AS) is a type IV collagen hereditary disease characterized by the association of progressive Hematuric nephritis, hearing loss, and, frequently, ocular changes. Mutations in the COL4A5 collagen gene are responsible for the more common X-linked dominant form of the disease.
