Abstract
Alport-leiomyomatosis syndrome is a polygenic syndrome with a dominant X-linked inheritance pattern resulting from a large deletion in the 5' end of the COL4A5 gene coding for the type IV collagen alpha 5 chains. Hypothetically, the deletion extends beyond the 5' end and probably includes a second contiguous gene responsible for leiomyomatosis (the DL gene) and even a third one coding for congenital cataract (the CCT gene).Entities:
