Mutation in these genes outcomes in abnormalities of the type IV collagen in glomeruli which restricts kidneys function to filter blood properly. About 80% of alport syndrome cases are caused by COL4A5 gene mutation and inherited in X linked pattern.

Approximately, 15%-20% alport syndrome results from COL4A3 and COL4A4 gene mutation. There is no definite medication existing for alport syndrome treatment. ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB’s) and diuretic drugs are used for alport syndrome treatment. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor is the blood pressure medication given for alport syndrome treatment when the elevated level of protein is detected in the urine.
