Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation in the COL6A1-COL6A2 gene cluster on chromosome 21 was studied in 113 controls and 58 European families (including control and family subgroups of British/Irish origin) having a child with trisomy 21. There were statistically significant differences among subgroups of trisomic children with and without congenital heart defects (CHD) in distributions of definitive, 3-RFLP haplotype classes...
