X-linked Alport syndrome, also known as X-linked hereditary nephritis (HN) in Samoyed dogs, is a genetic disorder similar to human Alport syndrome. This condition is associated with a defect in type IV collagen, which is essential for maintaining structural integrity in the kidneys. In Samoyed dogs, this genetic disorder is caused by mutations in the COL4A5 gene, leading to the progressive deterioration of kidney function.
