Comparative cytogenetic mapping of COL14A1, the gene for human and mouse collagen XIV.
Utilizing the FISH technique, the gene for collagen XIV was mapped in the human and the mouse genome. The human gene (COL14A1) was assigned to chromosome bands 8q23-->q24.1. This assignment is in agreement with the localization of the undulin gene (UND), whose product has been suggested to be a variant of collagen XIV. The mouse gene (Col14a1) was assigned to chromosome 15 band D. Thus, collagen XIV represents another example of a gene that belongs to human/mouse homology group 90.
