Abstract excerpt
NEW FINDINGS: What is the central question of the study? Do COL5A1 gene variants, previously reported to have diminished transcript stability, manifest in physiological phenotypes of quadriceps muscle-tendon contractile properties and mechanical stiffness in humans? What is the main finding and its importance? COL5A1 gene variants influence mechanical stiffness, not seeming to affect low-level contractile...
