The association of X-linked Alport syndrome with leiomyomatosis of the esophagus, tracheobronchial tree or female genitals has been reported in more than 30 families. The disease is due to a deletion involving the 5\' terminal region of both COL4A5 and COL4A6 (as such, it forms a contiguous gene syndrome). Only the first two exons of COL4A6 are deleted but the extent of COL4A5 gene deletion is variable.
