Chromosome 9
 
A Chromosome is a gene-carrying structure found in the nucleus. Chromosomes are made up of long DNA molecules as well as proteins. Mutations in chromosomes can lead to various diseases and problems.
 
I am studying chromosome 9. Two proteins located on chromosome 9 are Receptore Tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor and Aldehyde dehydrogenase. Three diseases that are caused by mutations on chromosome 9 are Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome, nonsyndromic deafness, and Familial Dysautonomia.
 
Each of the above links will take you to more information regarding each of the two proteins and three diseases mentioned.
