Abstract excerpt
The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is at high risk of muscle injury, and collagen XXII is strictly expressed at tissue junctions, specifically at the MTJ. We investigated the hypothesis that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to collagen type XXII α-1 chain gene (COL22A1) mRNA expression are associated with susceptibility to muscle injury in athletes. History of muscle injury was assessed in 3,320...
