    Glossary Chromosome 17

    contains genes crucial for cell growth and DNA repair

    Chromosome 17 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans and contains approximately 83 million base pairs, which represent about 2.5% of the total DNA in cells. It is notable for housing several important genes, including those related to the production of proteins involved in cell growth, DNA repair, and the development of the nervous system. Mutations or alterations in genes on Chromosome 17 can lead to various medical conditions, such as certain types of cancer and neurological disorders.
