Collagen, type VI, alpha 2
COL6A2
This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The product of this gene contains several domains similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene.

BACKGROUND: Collagen VI-related disorders are a group of muscular diseases characterized by muscle wasting and weakness, joint contractures, distal laxity, serious respiratory dysfunction and cutaneous alterations, due to mutations in the COL6A1, COL6A2 and COL6A3 genes, encoding for collagen VI, a critical component of the extracellular matrix.
