Alport's syndrome

Alport's syndrome
a hereditary disease that causes nephritis accompanied by deafness and, less commonly, ocular defects, such as cataracts. Affected males usually develop end-stage renal failure and, unless treated with a kidney transplant, die before the age of 40. Females have a better prognosis.
A. C. Alport (1880-1959), South African physician
