## Communicated by Sesgio Otrdenghi Alport's syndrome is characterized clinically by a nonimmune glomerulopathy, often accompanied by sensorineural hearing loss and lens abnormalities, frequently due to mutations in the COL4A5 gene.
A population of 35 Alport syndrome patients, defined by strict diagnostic criteria, was screened for mutations in 23 exons of the COL4A5 gene by SSCP analysis. Mobility shifts were observed in 12 out of 35 patients and were shown to represent genuine mutations. 9 of these were glycine substitutions
