Genes linked to Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, Stanescu type
COL2A1: Collagen alpha-1(II) chain
It provides the principal fibrillar collagen framework of cartilage and is also important in the vitreous and inner ear. Pathogenic variants cause a broad type II collagenopathy spectrum including Stickler syndrome, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, and severe skeletal dysplasias.
10 disease-causing and 0 uncertain variants in COL2A1 are linked to Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, Stanescu type.

About this data
Variant–disease links come from ClinVar, Open Targets and UniProt, pooled from the latest public CATVariant analysis of each human protein. Evidence scores use the ACMG/AMP Bayesian points scale with computable criteria only (position among known disease variants, rarity in gnomAD, calibrated predictors, deep mutational scanning); there is no family or patient data, so they prioritise variants for expert review and never classify them.
