At about 21.5 genes per megabase, chromosome 11 is one of the most gene-rich, and disease-rich, chromosomes in the human genome. More than 40% of the 856 olfactory receptor genes in the human genome are located in 28 single-gene and multi-gene clusters along the chromosome.
Changes involving chromosome 11 include an extra piece of the chromosome in each cell (partial trisomy 11), a missing segment of the chromosome in each cell (partial monosomy 11), and a circular structure called a ring chromosome 11.
23 mar 2006 · We found that 805 (52.8%) of the genes have at least two or more variants, consisting of 738 known genes, 36 novel CDSs, 30 novel transcripts and one putative gene.
23 mar 2006 · Initial gene annotation indicates an average gene density of 11.6 genes per megabase, including 1,524 protein-coding genes, some of which were identified using novel methods, and 765 pseudogenes. One-quarter of the protein-coding genes shows overlap with other genes.
3 wrz 2023 · The translocation results in a fusion of the EWS gene on chromosome 22 and the FLI1 gene on chromosome 11. This fusion leads to the production of an abnormal protein called EWS-FLI1. See also CEP57 gene
Chromosome 11 is singular in that it carries hosts of genes involved in various illnesses. At least 180 genes involved in perceiving smells are found on the chromosome.
