High impact information on COL19A1

  • Previously, COL19A1 was mapped to human chromosome 6q12-q14, where COL9A1 is also located [1].
  • Here we describe the complete exon/intron organization of COL19A1 and show that it contains 51 exons, spanning more than 250 kb of genomic DNA [1].
  • This cDNA was used to locate the corresponding gene (D6S228E) to chromosome 6, notably at position 6q12-q14 [2].
 

Biological context of COL19A1

  • Synteny between the loci for a novel FACIT-like collagen locus (D6S228E) and alpha 1 (IX) collagen (COL9A1) on 6q12-q14 in humans [2].
