Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Endurance-running performance and joint range of motion (ROM) are both multifactorial phenotypes. A single-nucleotide polymorphism, rs172722 (C/T), in the COL5A1 3'-untranslated region (UTR) was shown to independently associate with both phenotypes. Two major functional forms of the COL5A1 3'-UTR have been identified and differ by 7 tightly linked polymorphisms that include rs12722 and a short...
