Genet. Genomic Med. 9:e1620-e1620(2021). CC -!- FUNCTION: Structural component of hyaline cartilage and vitreous of the CC eye. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterotrimer of an alpha 1(IX), an alpha 2(IX) and an alpha CC 3(IX) chain. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular CC matrix {ECO:0000250}. CC -!- PTM: Covalently linked to the telopeptides of type II collagen by CC lysine-derived cross-links. CC -!- PTM: Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit CC (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains. CC -!- DISEASE: Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia 3 (EDM3) [MIM:600969]: A CC generalized skeletal dysplasia associated with significant morbidity. CC Joint pain, joint deformity, waddling gait, and short stature are the CC main clinical signs and symptoms. Radiological examination of the CC skeleton shows delayed, irregular mineralization of the epiphyseal CC ossification centers and of the centers of the carpal and tarsal bones. CC Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia is broadly categorized into the more CC severe Fairbank and the milder Ribbing types. The Fairbank type is CC characterized by shortness of stature, short and stubby fingers, small CC epiphyses in several joints, including the knee, ankle, hand, and hip. CC The Ribbing type is confined predominantly to the hip joints and is CC characterized by hands that are normal and stature that is normal or CC near-normal. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10090888, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:25381065}. Note=The disease is caused by variants CC affecting the gene represented in this entry. CC -!- DISEASE: Intervertebral disc disease (IDD) [MIM:603932]: A common CC musculo-skeletal disorder caused by degeneration of intervertebral CC disks of the lumbar spine. It results in low-back pain and unilateral CC leg pain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11308397, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25381065}. CC Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the CC gene represented in this entry. Susceptibility to intervertebral disk CC disease is conferred by variant p.Arg103Trp (PubMed:11308397). CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11308397}. CC -!- DISEASE: Stickler syndrome 6 (STL6) [MIM:620022]: A form of Stickler CC syndrome, an inherited disorder that associates ocular signs with more CC or less complete forms of Pierre Robin sequence, bone disorders and CC sensorineural deafness. Ocular disorders may include juvenile cataract, CC myopia, strabismus, vitreoretinal or chorioretinal degeneration, CC retinal detachment, and chronic uveitis. Pierre Robin sequence includes CC an opening in the roof of the mouth (a cleft palate), a large tongue CC (macroglossia), and a small lower jaw (micrognathia). Bones are CC affected by slight platyspondyly and large, often defective epiphyses. CC Juvenile joint laxity is followed by early signs of arthrosis. The CC degree of hearing loss varies among affected individuals and may become CC more severe over time. STL6 is an autosomal recessive form CC characterized by early-onset progressive hearing loss and progressive CC myopia, with variable manifestation of facial dysmorphism and skeletal CC anomalies. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24273071, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30450842, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:31090205, ECO:0000269|PubMed:33570243}. Note=The CC disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this CC entry. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the fibril-associated collagens with interrupted CC helices (FACIT) family. {ECO:0000305}.
