Alport syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous disorder with autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X-linked inheritance. The estimated prevalence is about 1 in 50,000 live births. All forms are caused by mutations in the genes encoding type IV collagen, which is a basement membrane component. Alport syndrome is characterized by a progressive glomerulonephropathy, sensorineural hearing loss and various ocular anomalies.read more
