✦ Synopsis

About 85% of Alport syndrome is an X-linked semi-dominant condition caused by mutations in the collagen gene, COL4A5. The large size and high GC content of this gene have presented diagnostic laboratories with problems in identifying mutations with greater than about a 50% success rate since the gene was first cloned 16 years ago. An RNA based approach is adopted here for a first pass mutation scanning coupled with more traditional exon-by-exon screening to increase the rate of mutation identification. Twenty-one mutations were identified in twenty-five patients with clear Alport syndrome including four gross deletions, two deep intronic mutations, three frameshifts, three splice site mutations, eight missense mutations and one inframe deletion.

Alport syndrome (AS) can be caused by mutations in COL4A5, one of the six type IV collagen genes. For the purposes of confirming diagnoses, carrier screening and correlating genotype to phenotype, we have screened all 51 exons of this gene by SSCP analysis in 153 families with suspected AS.
