A new, highly polymorphic, region consisting of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) is described that occurs within intron 12 of the COLlA2 gene. This VNTR consists of the trinucleotide ACT repeated from 6 to 12 times. Of the six alleles so far detected four are common in the three major races,
The genes that encode the alpha 1 (VI) and alpha 2 (VI) collagen chains, designated COL6A1 and COL6A2, map to human chromosomal band 21q22.3. Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and somatic cell hybrids, we found that COL6A1 and COL6A2 form a gene cluster on the most distal part of chromosome 21.
