1 804049 The diseases causing end-stage kidney failure in recipients were Alport syndrome, amyloidosis, cystinosis, diabetes mellitus, Fabry disease, familial nephritis, gout, medullary cystic disease, oxalosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
2 7560087 Comparative distribution of the alpha 1(IV), alpha 5(IV), and alpha 6(IV) collagen chains in normal human adult and fetal tissues and in kidneys from X-linked Alport syndrome patients.
3 7560087 We have shown previously that the 5' ends of the genes for the alpha 5(IV) and alpha 6(IV) collagen chains lie head-to-head on Xq22 and are deleted in patients with Alport syndrome (AS)-associated diffuse leiomyomatosis.

6 7780054 There was an inverse correlation between mesangial volume fraction and creatinine clearance in Alport syndrome patients (r = -0.72, P < 0.01); however, the creatinine clearances in Alport syndrome patients were far less than in insulin-dependent diabetic patients with similar mesangial volume fraction.
7 7922203 Our understanding of the underlying pathobiology in these disorders based on physiologic and cell biologic studies is variable--we suspect that the V2 vasopressin receptor is defective in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; we know that the glomerular basement membrane in Alport syndrome is abnormal; we suspect that a tumor suppressor gene is defective in Wilms tumor; and we lack a unifying hypothesis regarding cystic degeneration of the kidney.
8 7922203 The advent and rapid progress of molecular biology have permitted an entirely new approach to understanding these diseases, allowing the expected identification of mutations in the V2 receptor, the unexpected finding that a novel collagen gene is responsible for many Alport syndrome cases, and the somewhat less-unexpected finding that only one of several genes responsible for renal cancers has been identified.
