This case report highlights the variability of the ADAS phenotype caused by pathogenic heterozygous variants in the type 4 collagen genes. It supports the nomenclature change from a benign hematuria phenotype to ADAS, particularly when additional risk factors such as proteinuria, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis or glomerular basement membrane changes on kidney biopsy are present, or as in this case, evidence of disease in other family members.
