The human COL9A3 gene:structure of the gene for the α3 chain of type IX collagen and its role in human cartilage and intervertebral disc diseases

Abstract The nucleotide sequence of the entire COL9A3 gene, coding for the human α3(IX) chain, was determined. The gene was approximately 23 kb in length and consisted of 32 exons. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based procedure of conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE) was used to s...
