COL9A3 Gene

HGNC Family Collagens (COL), Proteoglycans
Name collagen, type IX, alpha 3
Description 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]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nCOL9A3 encodes the α3 chain of type IX collagen, a unique component of the cartilage extracellular matrix that assembles with the products of COL9A1 and COL9A2 to form a heterotrimer. This complex plays a crucial structural role by interacting with fibrillar collagens (notably type II and type XI), thereby ensuring matrix stability and proper biomechanical function in articular cartilage and intervertebral discs. Experimental investigations into collagen assembly have demonstrated that specific domains within COL9A3 are essential for determining the chain register and efficient cross‐linking required for maintaining tissue integrity."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "7"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nGenetic polymorphisms and mutations in COL9A3 have been widely implicated in musculoskeletal disorders.

Large-scale population studies, meta-analyses, and genotype–phenotype evaluations have underscored the complex interplay of COL9A3 mutations with age, inflammatory mediators, and other genetic factors; similar variants have also been linked to skeletal dysplasias such as multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and pseudoachondroplasia.
