Disease relevance of COL6A1

  • Consistent with this mechanism was our analysis of a patient with a much milder phenotype, in whom we identified a previously described Bethlem myopathy heterozygous in-frame deletion of 18 amino acids somewhat downstream in the triple-helical domain, a result of exon 14 skipping in the COL6A1 gene [1].
  • New molecular mechanism for Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy: a heterozygous in-frame deletion in the COL6A1 gene causes a severe phenotype [1].
  • For the alpha1(VI) chain, only the regions encoding the triple-helical and the promoter have been characterized hitherto.To facilitate our study of the role of this gene in the phenotype of Down syndrome, we have cloned and sequenced the amino- and carboxyl-terminal globular domains of COL6A1 [2].
  • Importantly, our strategy also stabilised very low-level (or illegitimate) nonsense-containing transcripts in lymphoblasts from patients with Bethlem myopathy (COL6A1), familial adenomatous polyposis (APC), and breast cancer (BRCA1) [3].
  • Unusual genotypes in the COL6A1 gene in parents of children with trisomy 21 and major congenital heart defects [4].

Associations of COL6A1 with chemical compounds

  • Mutations of the invariant glycine residues in the triple-helical domain-coding region of COL6A1 and COL6A2 have been reported previously in the chromosome 21-linked families [12].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of COL6A1

  • PCR assays for 21q-specific markers were used to show that COL6A1, COL6A2, and LA161 were all outside of the subtelomeric region spanned by the YACs and thus at least 300 kb from the 21q terminus [17].
