The human chromosome 22-located genes and malignancies of the central nervous system.
The human chromosome 22 displays an unusual concentration of medically relevant genes, especially gene(s) involved in malignancies of the central nervous system. A full genomic and transcriptional characterization of this autosome will no doubt make a strong impact on the understanding of some of the processes which lead to the development of these tumours.
