Abstract:Objective To find out the characteristics of mutations of gene COL4A5 encoding type Ⅳ collagen among X-linked dominant inherited Chinese Alport syndrome patients. Methods Screening for mutations in exon 43 of the COL4A5 gene was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis(DGGE) analysis in 10 kindreds belong to 7 XD-AS families and 100 normal controls and their genomic DNA were analyzed by the direct sequencing. Results A point mutation was found in one family with substitution of 4142C by T which resulted in the change of the CCG codon for Pro 1314 to the codon for Set (TCG).2 male patients and their mother all had such abnormality.Conclusion Abore point mutation is an inherited gene mutation.Refer to the literature,no same gene mutation is reported.
