Localization of the human collagen gene COL7A1 to 3p21.3 by fluorescence in situ hybridization

Abstract
An 8-kb genomic probe, containing 34 collagen-encoding exons, was localized to 3p21.3 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The genomic probe encoded a previously uncharacterized carboxyl terminal portion of the αl(VII) collagen chain.This mapping result confirms the previous assignment of the αl(VII) gene (COL7A1) to 3p21 and offers a finer subregional localization than was previously available,
