title = "COL5A1 gene variants previously associated with reduced soft tissue injury risk are associated with elite athlete status in rugby",
abstract = "Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms within the COL5A1 gene (SNPs; rs12722 C/T and rs3196378 C/A) have previously been associated with tendon and ligament pathologies. Given the high incidence of tendon and ligament injuries in elite rugby athletes, we hypothesised that both SNPs would be associated with career success.",
