COL15A1

collagen type XV alpha 1 chain

This gene encodes the alpha chain of type XV collagen, a member of the FACIT collagen family (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices). Type XV collagen has a wide tissue distribution but the strongest expression is localized to basement membrane zones so it may function to adhere basement membranes to underlying connective tissue stroma. The proteolytically produced C-terminal fragment of type XV collagen is restin, a potentially antiangiogenic protein that is closely related to endostatin. Mouse studies have shown that collagen XV deficiency is associated with muscle and microvessel deterioration.

AD Risk Scores

About AD Risk Scores

The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has developed a Target Risk Score (TRS) to objectively rank the potential involvement of specific genes in AD. The TRS is derived by summing two component risk scores, the Genetic Risk Score and the Multi-omic Risk Score, each of which is derived from a meta-analysis of multiple harmonized data sets. More information about the methodology used to define these risk scores is available here.

AD Risk Scores for COL15A1

The TRS for COL15A1, along with the component Genetic and Multi-omic Risk Scores, is shown here. The scores for COL15A1 are superimposed on the genome-wide score distributions. If No Data is Currently Available is displayed for a score, that score was not calculated for COL15A1.

Biological Domain Classification

About Biological Domains

A biological domain represents a standardized area of biology defined by a set of discrete, biologically coherent GO terms. The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has defined nineteen biological domains associated with AD, and objectively mapped genes to those biological domains using GO term annotations. More information about the methodology used to define AD biological domains, and to generate genome-wide biological domain mappings, is available here.

Biological Domains for COL15A1

Select a biological domain on the left to see the list of GO terms that link COL15A1 to it on the right. The percentage value displayed next to the currently selected biological domain indicates the proportion of COL15A1's total unique GO terms that map to the biological domain. The ratio displayed on the right indicates how many of the biological domain's total GO terms COL15A1 is annotated with.
