Case Report: Whole genome sequencing identifies a novel deep intronic COL4A5 variant of uncertain significance in X-linked Alport syndrome

Diagnosing Alport syndrome can be particularly challenging when targeted sequencing methods, such as panel-based next-generation sequencing (NGS), fail to identify pathogenic variants, especially deep intronic mutations. The syndrome is caused by mutations in type IV collagen genes (COL4A3, COL4A4,...
