Health		The primary indicator of Alport syndrome is a family history of chronic glomerular disease, although it may also involve hearing or vision impairment. (references)
		This syndrome affects both men and women, but men are more likely to experience chronic renal failure and sensory loss. Men with Alport syndrome usually first show evidence of renal insufficiency while in their twenties and reach ESRD by age 40. Women rarely have significant renal impairment, and hearing loss may be so slight that it can be detected only through testing with special equipment. (references)
