Alport syndrome can also affect the eyes. The presence of blood in the urine (hematuria) is almost always found in this condition. Many people with Alport syndrome also exhibit high levels of protein in their urine (proteinuria). As this condition progresses, the kidneys become less able to function properly and kidney failure results. Hearing loss is a common feature of Alport syndrome, but the abnormalities in the eyes seldom lead to loss of vision. How common is Alport syndrome?

Extractions: There are many families in the Alport study, so we have tried to develop efficient methods for collagen gene mutation screening. The following table summarizes year by year accumulation of independently ascertained kindreds who actively participate in the University of Utah study, by providing medical information and blood or other specimens. Mutation detection Although we have used various other methods in the past, the most rapid means that we currently have available for molecular diagnosis is mutation detection. By this approach, we attempt to find the specific molecular genetic defect that causes the disease in a particular family. This approach would not be possible unless we knew the specific genes that cause most forms of Alport Syndrome. Since there are 100,000 genes in the human genome and there are thousands of "parts" to each gene that might be defective, it is not now possible to perform a test of ALL of the genes in any single individual. In fact, it is still rather difficult to test even ONE gene in a single individual. Genes vary in size and small genes are easier to "scan" for mutations than big ones. The X-linked Alport gene, COL4A5, happens to be a very large gene. Because COL4A5 is so large, most methods that are used to identify mutations involve breaking the gene down into smaller sub-segments and examining each of these sub-segments for some change that would destroy the normal function of the gene. Since different families almost always have different mutations, the entire gene must be examined in every new family.
KFOC - Alport Syndrome
As outlined above, the genetics of alport syndrome is complex. Diagnosis in youngchildren may be tricky, even with the help of a renal biopsy.

Extractions: Alport Syndrome Alport Syndrome (AS) is an inherited disorder of the basement membranes of the kidney, eye and ear. People who inherit defective genes for the "collagen" proteins in these basement membranes may develop progressive loss of renal function, deafness and abnormalities of the eye. In the kidneys, glomerular basement membranes normally act like filters, allowing fluid to move from blood vessels to urine while retaining protein and red blood cells within the bloodstream. Thus, one of the early signs of Alport syndrome may be leakage of small amounts of blood or protein into the urine during childhood. Collagen-containing membranes are also important for the shape of the lens of the eye and the structure of the inner ear. History In 1927, Dr. Alport wrote his classic report on a British family with the syndrome. He drew attention to the fact that affected males in this family uniformly developed progressive renal failure and deafness, whereas females were less affected. This pattern of inheritance is termed "X-linked". The normal copy of the gene onto the other X chromosome relatively protects female "carriers" who inherit an abnormal Alport gene on one X chromosome. Some females may develop renal insufficiency, but in general this occurs late in life. In contrast, every male receives one Y chromosome from his father and one X chromosome from his mother; thus, if he happens to inherit an X-chromosome bearing a mutant Alport gene, the boy is unprotected and develops the full-blown Alport Syndrome as a young adult.

Boys Town National Research Hospital is a national leader in the diagnosis and treatment of children with moderate to profound hearing loss. @import "/css/rightcol.css"; Information on Hearing Loss - Genetics and Deafness - Alport Syndrome Alport Syndrome (AS) is characterized by hereditary nephritis (kidney disease known as Bright's disease in the past) and sensorineural hearing loss. The mode of inheritance may be X-linked or autosomal dominant. Less common symptoms include a defect of the lens of the eye called anterior lenticonus and a defect of blood platelets that can cause bleeding complications. AS is usually diagnosed by a test for blood and protein in the urine, hearing tests, and an extended family history. Hearing loss commonly occurs in childhood.
