title: The human chromosome 22-located genes and malignancies of the central nervous system.
abstract: 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.
