Temporal retinal thinning and the diagnosis of Alport syndrome and Thin basement membrane nephropathy.

CONCLUSIONS: Retinal temporal thinning is diagnostic for X-linked Alport syndrome in men and distinguishes them this condition from Thin basement membrane nephropathy, but only in men (p = 0.002). Temporal retinal thinning may also identify men and women with the rarer autosomal recessive disease. PMID: 29172845 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
