Alportsyndromeis a renal hereditarydisease of progressivecourse, causedby geneticdefects in the genes responsible for the constitution of the glomerular basementmembrane. Mutation in genes fortype IV collagen occurs at COL 4A3/4/5, whichproducesinterference in thecorrectmembranearrangement. Clinicalpresentationmayvarydependingonmutationtype. Afterconfirming diagnosis, withgenetic studiesorbiopsies, managementincludesidentification of risk and treatment. Reduction of proteinuria, as managementguidelinessuggest, has resulted in delay in progressiontochronickidneydisease. In themeantime, studiesfor new treatmentdevelopments are in progress, directedtospecificreceptors.
