A microscopic, orange blob is about to change the face of medicine, reports CBS News Correspondent Wyatt Andrews. For the first time, scientists have mapped virtually an entire human chromosome ...

Unlike more random, rarer chromosome translocations, the rearrangement between chromosomes 11 and 22 tends to recur, which led the researchers to investigate their DNA breakpoints in detail.

Chromosome 22 Provides Human Genome Preview. For this article, Laura DeFrancesco interviewed Ian Dunham, senior research fellow at the Sanger Centre, Welcome Trust, UK; Bruce Roe, a research professor ...

All humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, 22 of which are autosomes, meaning they look the same in both males and females. The other pair comprises the sex chromosomes, ...

A new study published in Science Advances sheds light on how changes in brain connections before and after puberty might explain why some children with a rare genetic condition called 22q11.2 deletion ...

Large and rare duplications and deletions in a chromosome region known as 22q11.2 , ... DiGeorge syndrome, a 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, is caused when a small portion of chromosome 22 is missing.

A part of chromosome 9 attaches to chromosome 22. The changed chromosome 22 is called the Philadelphia chromosome. This chromosome disorder causes the formation of tyrosine kinase, which helps ...

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 total, and 22 of these pairs are numbered chromosomes, known as autosomes. The 23rd pair is a pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY).

Phelan-McDermid syndrome is a rare genetic condition impacting speech, mobility, and cognitive development. It typically occurs due to an alteration in chromosome 22 and is present from birth.

Part of the ABL gene normally found on chromosome 9 becomes attached to the BCR gene on chromosome 22, creating the cancer-driving BCR::ABL fusion gene on chromosome 22.
