Benign familial hematuria is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by recurrent dysmorphic hematuria detected in childhood. The glomerular basement membrane is uniformly thin, but renal function is normal. Heterozygous mutations in COL4A3 or COL4A4 lead to reduced collagen network levels in the basement membrane.
