NCBI Summary for COL9A3
This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, the major collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen, a heterotrimeric molecule, is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 3. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
UniProt Comments for COL9A3
COL9A3: Structural component of hyaline cartilage and vitreous of the eye. Defects in COL9A3 are the cause of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 3 (EDM3); also known as multiple epiphyseal dysplasia with myopathy. EDM is a generalized skeletal dysplasia associated with significant morbidity. Joint pain, joint deformity, waddling gait, and short stature are the main clinical signs and symptoms. EDM is broadly categorized into the more severe Fairbank and the milder Ribbing types. Defects in COL9A3 are a cause of susceptibility to intervertebral disk disease (IDD). A common musculo- skeletal disorder caused by degeneration of intervertebral disks of the lumbar spine. It results in low-back pain and unilateral leg pain. Susceptibility to intervertebral disk disease, is conferred by variant p.Arg103Trp (PubMed:11308397). Belongs to the fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices (FACIT) family.
