Quick way to find disease genes located on specific human chromosomes:

1. GoTo NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)

2. In the left-most column, click on the 'Genetics & Medicine' link

3. Click on ‘Genes & Disease’ database entry in the list of databases.

4. Once at the Genes and Disease page, examine the Table fo Contents for various categories of disease; see also the last entry, 'Chromosome Map' where you can find specific chromosome locations for a variety of mutated genes causing diseases in humans.

5. Once on the Chromosome Maps page, click on a chromosone in the 'Chromsome Map’ box for any chromosome to see the chromosome’s ideogram.

6. In the 'MapViewer' link, see the known diseases associated with genes on the selected chromosome. A ‘Table View’ link is located on the side of the page, and is another useful way to see a summary of all the disease genes for the selected chromosome.

7. And don't forget to utilize the Human Gennome Resources site to find specific genes on specific chromosomes.
