Fig 1. Col4a5 mRNA level was measured in Col4a5-R471X mice (n=3, male, 6 week-old) and the point mutation of Col4a5 has been verified by sequencing.

Abbr. HO, homozygous;  WT, wild type.

Fig 4. Marked glomerular changes are recognized in all (8/8) R471X mice of 23 weeks of age.

The renal cortex shows uniform glomerular distribution, with mesangial matrix proliferation and mild sclerosis (yellow arrow). Renal tubular changes include epithelial edema (blue arrow), atrophy (orange arrow), dilation (green arrow), and necrosis (black arrow). Connective tissue proliferation (light green arrow), lymphocyte infiltration (purple arrow), and occasional protein casts (gray arrow) are noted. Such lesions are entirely absent in controls of same age. Scale bar=100 μm; magnification, 200×.

Abbr. WT, wild type.
