Conditions that suggest Alport Syndrome: Organ Health Kidney Failure Alport Syndrome causes progressive kidney damage. This means that the glomeruli undergo a gradual but persistent process of destruction, leading to kidney failure in many cases. Boys with Alport Syndrome inevitably develop kidney failure, but kidney failure in girls is unusual. The age at which boys with Alport Syndrome develop kidney failure varies from family to family. It may occur as early as 15-20 years of age, but in some families, kidney failure does not develop until the men are 40-50 years of age.

KEY Weak or unproven link Proven definite or direct link GLOSSARY Alport Syndrome: Alport syndrome is caused by a mutation in a gene for collagen. This inherited disorder is uncommon, affecting about 2 out of 10,000 people. It causes chronic glomerulonephritis with destruction of the glomeruli (the tiny blood vessels within the kidneys that filter the blood) and eventually progresses to end-stage renal disease at an early age. It was first described by an English doctor, A. Cecil Alport. Because of the way Alport Syndrome is inherited, the disease tends to be more severe in men than in women.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Access Program (DHHAP)-Technical Assistance Center DHHAP Information and Technical Assistance Series Category: Causes of Hearing Loss and Hearing Loss in General Alport Syndrome (Source: Boystown Research Registry) 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. Most subtypes of AS include a bilateral progressive sensorineural hearing loss of mild to moderate degree, but some individuals may have a severe to profound loss. Females generally have a milder hearing loss than their male relatives if they have one at all. Management of the hearing loss includes regular audiologic follow-up, use of hearing aides, and avoidance of certain drugs and excessive noise exposure that can cause further hearing loss. Mutations (changes from the normal genetic structure) responsible for AS have been found in a collagen gene, COL4A5, which is on the long arm of the X chromosome (Xq22). Several different mutations in the COL4A5 gene have been identified, which are thought to relate to the variation in age of onset and severity among families with AS. At this time a gene for autosomal dominant AS has not been identified.

Below: Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition A hereditary disease of the kidneys that primarily affects men, causing blood in the urine, hearing loss and eye problems. Eventually, kidney dialysis or transplant may be necessary. Description Alport syndrome affects about one in 5,000 Americans, striking men more often and severely than women. There are several varieties of the syndrome, some occurring in childhood and others not causing symptoms until men reach their 20s or 30s. All varieties of the syndrome are characterized by kidney disease that usually progresses to chronic kidney failure and by uremia (the presence of excessive amounts of urea and other waste products in the blood). Causes and symptoms Alport syndrome in most cases is caused by a defect in one or more genes located on the X chromosome. It is usually inherited from the mother, who is a normal carrier. However, in up to 20% of cases there is no family history of the disorder. In these cases, there appears to be a spontaneous genetic mutation causing Alport syndrome. Blood in the urine (hematuria) is a hallmark of Alport syndrome. Other symptoms that may appear in varying combinations include:

Home Alport's Syndrome Introduction Nephritis is a general term for inflammation of the kidneys. There are several hereditary forms of nephritis. Alport's syndrome (AS) is one of these but is unique because of the additional symptom of hearing loss in the presence of kidney failure. The disorder causes chronic glomerulonephritis with destruction of the glomeruli. The eventual result is end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis (or transplantation) develops between adolescence and age 40. AS affects the basement membranes which are the supporting layers of epithelial and endothelial tissues that make up much of the body's surfaces. The cause is a mutation in a gene for collagen. The disorder is uncommon, affecting about 2 out of 10,000 people. The cause of AS is a mutation in a gene for collagen. The disorder is uncommon, affecting about 2 out of 10,000 people.

Z Definition: Alport syndrome is an inherited (usually X-linked) disorder involving damage to the kidney, blood in the urine , and in some families, loss of hearing . The disorder may also include eye defects Alternative Names: Hereditary nephritis; Hematuria - nephropathy - deafness; Hemorrhagic familial nephritis; Hereditary deafness and nephropathy Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Alport syndrome is very similar to hereditary nephritis. There may be nerve deafness and congenital eye abnormalities associated with Alport syndrome. The cause is a mutation in a gene for collagen. The disorder is uncommon, and most often affects males since the genetic defect is typically found on the X chromosome. In women, the disorder is usually mild, with minimal or no symptoms. Women can transmit the gene for the disorder to their children, even if the woman has no symptoms of the disorder. In men, the symptoms are more severe and progress faster. The disorder causes chronic glomerulonephritis with destruction of the glomeruli. Initially, there are no symptoms. Progressive destruction of the glomeruli causes
