In this case report, we report our findings of a variant of uncertain significance in the COL4A5 gene in four family members. Patient 0 is a 16-year-old female with no prior medical history referred to Pediatric Nephrology for the evaluation of microscopic hematuria. Upon further investigation, she was found to have a family history of both microscopic hematuria and kidney disease, prompting genetic testing and intimation of a possible cause and inheritance pattern for kidney disease and hematuria in the COL4A5 gene.
在本病例报告中,我们报告了在四名家庭成员中发现的COL4A5基因中一个意义未明的变异。患者0是一名16岁女性,既往无病史,因镜下血尿转诊至儿科肾病科进行评估。进一步检查发现,她有镜下血尿和肾病的家族史,这促使进行基因检测,并提示COL4A5基因中肾病和血尿的可能病因及遗传模式。
