We don't know yet. Mainly because measuring proteinuria in mice is largely unreliable and difficult. There aren't any good established methods that I know of.

Hematuria was present by 3-6 months.

Thank you! We need to find some time to meet up one of these days. I need to pick your brain about XLAS in females

Definitely not economics. Urine samples are taken from kids all the time, especially for things like UTIs. My former stepdaughter was misdiagnosed for years despite known microhematuria because her ped didn't listen to the patient mother with a known family history

Yes, yes we should

I'm so grateful for societies such as @amsocmatbio.bsky.social , and for organizations such as the Alport Syndrome Foundation and @alportuk.bsky.social for all of their continued support and advocacy on this condition.

This award is meaningful as it not only highlights my research efforts but also carries a personal significance for me. With my daughter, Kyra, living with XLAS, my dedication to research and advocacy is driven by a desire to impact her life positively and benefit others affected by this condition.
