✦ Synopsis
We amplified 305bp of the 3'UT region of COL18A1 from 62 healthy chromosomes from Caucasian individuals. SSCP analysis of these PCR products allowed us to identify 3 alleles which were confirmed through sequencing analysis and ASO. The heterozigosity found for this polymorphic region is 74,2%. and mendelian inheritance was demonstrated in 5 two/three generation families. This polymorphism, located in a region relatively devoid of microsatellites, will be very useful for linkage analysis, particularly for narrowing down candidate regions for genes mapped in this area.
