To investigate the mutations in COL4A5 in 3 X-linked thin basement membrane nephropathy families.PCR-SSCP analysis were used for 51 exons of COL4A5 gene. If bands shift were found, then automated sequencing was performed after cloning in pGEM-T easy vectors.In one of the three families a glycine to alanine substitution was identified in the collagenous region of the COL4A5 gene, and the mutation cosegregates with hematuria in this family.Some of thin basement membrane nephropathy may be due to mutation of COL4A5 gene.
