The pro alpha 2(V) collagen gene (COL5A2) maps to 2q14----2q32, syntenic to the pro alpha 1 (III) collagen locus (COL3A1).
A recombinant probe specific for the pro alpha 2 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 human X rodent cell lines indicated that COL5A2 is confined within the segment 2q14----2q32, thus syntenic to the pro alpha 1 (III) collagen gene (COL3A1).
