title: [The human genome--chromosome 6].
abstract: In addition to the dominating area containing genes MHC-the major histocompatibility complex with a number of other important genes which are between locuses of HLA, the 6th chromosome is the carrier of genes for idiopathic types of epilepsy, haemochromatosis, spinocerebellar ataxia, whereby the latter belongs among diseases caused by expansion of intragenic repetitions. On the 6th chromosome we find also representatives of the family of collagen locuses, COL9A1 and COL11A2, and as clotting factor F13A1. It is assumed that there are also some locuses which control some types of cleft lip and palate.
