This study summarizes 47 novel mutations identified during routine molecular diagnostics for Alport syndrome. We detected 34 in COL4A5, the gene responsible for X-linked Alport syndrome, and 13 in COL4A3 and COL4A4, the genes responsible for autosomal recessive Alport syndrome. A high detection rate
Fourteen Italian patients affected with X-linked Alport syndrome were analyzed by Southern blotting, using cDNA probes of the COL4A5 gene. One proband was shown to carry a large deletion (greater than 38 kb) that included the 5' part of the gene.
