mRNA analysis identifies deep intronic variants causing Alport syndrome and overcomes the problem of negative results of exome sequencing

Abstract Mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4 and COL4A5 genes lead to Alport syndrome (AS). However, pathogenic variants in some AS patients are not detected by exome sequencing. The aim of this study was to identify the underlying genetic causes of five unrelated AS probands with negative NGS test results....
