In order to elucidate some of the mechanisms leading to the pathological expression of the human fibrillar collagens, as well as to understand the evolution of these loci, specific cDNA and genomic clones have been isolated. The primary structure of the COOH-terminal propeptide of the four collagen chains and either part or the entire exon/intron arrangement of the genes have been determined. Interspecies and pairwise comparison revealed that the four loci have evolved at slightly different rates, maintaining, however, remarkably similar exon/intron arrangement. The fibrillar genes, albeit sharing the same elaborate structure, exhibit different sizes that correlate with the average length of their intron sequences, possibly because of their different chromosomal origin.
