Sequence nomenclature is based on COL4A3 reference sequence LRG_230 (NM_000091.4) and COL4A4 reference sequence LRG_231 (NM_000092.4), in which nucleotide number 1 corresponds to the first base of the translation initiation codon. AR AS, autosomal recessive Alport syndrome; I, intron; F, female; H, homozygous; h, heterozygous; M, male; N, normal; N/A, not appropriate; NK, not known.

a

Age when clinically assessed.

b

A pathogenic mutation resulting in a stop codon (i.e., a nonsense or frameshift mutation).

c

The mutation was originally identified in Germany (Center for Nephrology and Metabolic Disorders, Germany).
