Abstract excerpt
The collagen, type IX, alpha 1 (COL9A1) gene was previously identified as a candidate gene for idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (ICTEV), a congenital lower limb deformity in humans. In the present study, increased expression levels of COL9A1 were identified in the abductor hallucis muscle of ICTEV patients compared with those in control samples. The COL9A1 gene is regulated by SRY (sex‑determining region...
