About Alport Syndrome
Alport syndrome is a hereditary kidney disorder characterized by hematuria and proteinuria that begin in childhood and progressively lead to renal impairment. The disease results from mutations in genes encoding type IV collagen, causing structural defects in the glomerular basement membrane and consequent renal dysfunction.
Severe cases often progress to end-stage renal disease in male patients during late adolescence or early adulthood and may also present with hearing loss or ocular symptoms. As a rare disease (designated intractable disease No. 218), Alport syndrome remains without an established curative treatment, and effective therapeutic options are urgently needed.
