Abstract EN
Mutations in the COL4A3 gene are frequently reported to be associated with various types of hereditary nephropathy.
COL4A3 encodes the α3 chain of type IV collagen, which is the main structural protein in the basement membrane.
Mutations in this gene are always related to kidney performance, and deafness and ocular lesion have also been reported.
In this study, using next-generation sequencing, we investigated the DNA of a family visiting a clinic for hearing loss.
A new missense mutation was found in COL4A3 of 5 patients, c.3227C>T (p.P1076L).
Based on these results, we predict that the mutation is pathogenic and leads to abnormal collagen IV.
Here, we report for the first time on this autosomal dominant syndrome, characterized by hearing loss and eye abnormalities, but without renal damage, in all carriers.
Since the oldest patient in the trial was less than 50 years old, however, we recommend that renal examination be reviewed regularly.
Our results reveal expansion in the mutation spectrum of the COL4A3 gene and phenotypic spectrum of collagen IV disease.
Our study suggests that next-generation sequencing is an economical and effective method and may help in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
