The role of human chromosome 8 in genetic disease together with the current status of the genetic linkage map for this chromosome is reviewed. Both hereditary genetic disease attributed to mutant alleles at gene loci on chromosome 8 and neoplastic disease owing to somatic mutation, particularly chromosomal translocations, are discussed.
本文综述了人类8号染色体在遗传疾病中的作用以及该染色体遗传连锁图谱的现状。文中讨论了归因于8号染色体基因座突变等位基因的遗传性遗传疾病,以及由于体细胞突变,特别是染色体易位引起的肿瘤性疾病。
