COL4A1Mutations and Hereditary Angiopathy, Nephropathy, Aneurysms, and Muscle Cramps

Abstract
COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 are the only collagen genes that have been implicated in inherited nephropathies in humans. However, the causative genes for a number of hereditary multicystic kidney diseases, myopathies with cramps, and heritable intracranial aneurysms remain unknown.
