No association between COL3A1, COL6A1 or COL12A1 gene variants and range of motion.

Abstract excerpt

Approximately 64-70% of the variability in joint range of motion (ROM) is heritable. A common variant within a type V collagen (COL5A1) gene is associated with joint range of motion. Like type V collagen, types III, VI and XII collagen are also involved in fibril assembly and/or diameter regulation. Mutations within the genes that encode these proteins, COL3A1, COL6A1 and COL12A1, also cause connective tissue...
