Alport syndrome is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous nephropathy. The majority of cases are transmitted as an X-linked semidominant condition due to COL4A5 mutations. In this form males are more severely affected than females. Less than 10% of cases are autosomal recessive due to mutation in either COL4A3 or COL4A4. In this rarer form, both males and females are severely affected. Only two cases of autosomal-dominant Alport syndrome have been reported, one due to a COL4A3 mutation and the other due to a COL4A4 mutation. Because of the paucity of the reported families, the natural history of autosomal-dominant Alport syndrome is mostly unknown.
