Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetically heterogenic, structural disorder of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) due to the mutation of COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5 genes, which clinically presents as progressive hematuric nephritis with ultrastructural changes of the GBM, high tone sensorineural hearing loss, and ocular lesions. Here, COL4A3 is linked to Alport syndrome.
