Abstract: Alport syndrome (AS) is one of the important causes of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. It is the second most common inherited kidney disease after autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Autosomal dominant inheritance is a very rare mode of inheritance in AS. It has been reported that patients with autosomal dominant Alport syndrome (ADAS) progress to end-stage renal disease at a later age. This article summarizes the clinical and pathological features, as well as genetic mutations of a novel COL4A4 gene mutation c.3506-3528del (p.G1169Efs*13) in an ADAS family. One family member developed end-stage renal disease at the age of 31.
