Alport syndrome can also affect the eyes, causing eye abnormalities including cataracts, lenticonus, kerataconus, as well as retinal flecks in the macula and mid-periphery.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. Basement membranes are thin, sheet-like structures that separate and support cells in many tissues.
