The pro?2 (V) collagen gene (COL5A2) maps to 2q14?2q32, syntenic to the pro?1 (III) collagen locus (COL3A1)

Abstract
A recombinant probe specific for the proα2 chain of human Type V collagen has been used for the localization of the corresponding gene (COL5A2) to chromosome 2. Regional mapping by in situ hybridization and analysis of DNA from humanxrodent cell lines indicated that COL5A2 is confined within the segment 2q14→2q32, thus syntenic to the proα1 (III) collagen gene (COL3A1).
