A chromosome is a treadlike linear strand of DNA found in the nucleus of a cell that carries the genes in the transmission
of hereditary information. Humans have 46 chromosomes: 22 homologous pairs and either XX (females) or XY (males). Each chromosome
is vital. The alteration of chromosomes can have severe implications such as diseases or even death. This webpage
is devoted to Chromosome 15 and the diseases and proteins associated with it.
