Abstract excerpt
Joint laxity is a multifactorial phenotype with a heritable component. Mutations or common polymorphisms within the α1(V) (COL5A1), α1(XI) (COL11A1) and α2(XI) (COL11A2) collagen genes have been reported or proposed to associate with joint hypermobility, range of motion and/or genu recurvatum. The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphisms within these collagen-encoding genes are associated with...
