Alport syndrome is caused by mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5, all genes involved in collagen biosynthesis. Mutations in any of these genes prevent the proper production or assembly of the type IV collagen network, which is an important structural component of basement membranes in the kidney, inner ear, and eye.Basement membranes are thin, sheet-like structures that separate and support cells in many tissues.utations in any of these genes prevent the proper production or assembly of the type IV collagen network, which is an important structural component of basement membranes in the kidney, inner ear, and eye.
