Outline of Final Research Achievements |
1. We conducted the genetic analysis for 250 suspected Alport syndrome family members and conducted the genotype-phenotype analysis. 2.From patients urine samples, we collected the urinary sediment cells and cultured those cells, and made the disease specific cell lines for the further experiment. 3.We conducted the immunohistochemical analysis of type IV collagen alpha 5 chain (a5) expression and identified that patients with truncating mutations don't express a5, on the contrary, patients with non-truncating mutations express a5. 4. We designed the antisense-oligonucleotide and tried to lead to exon skipping for some of the specific exons. One of them introduced the exon skipping and possibly lead truncating mutations to non-truncating mutations.
