Gene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gene is the basic unit of heredity in a living organism. All living things depend on genes. Genes hold the information to build and maintain their cells and pass genetic traits to offspring. A mod...

Geneticists use maps to describe the location of a particular gene on a chromosome. One type of map uses the cytogenetic location to describe a gene’s position. The cytogenetic location is based on a distinctive pattern of bands created when chromosomes are stained with certain chemicals.

Scientists discovered the gene location through an international study involving 91 families in which at least three members suffered from prostate cancer. The region implicated represents about 0.3 percent of the human genome and ... At NCHGR, a genome-wide scan of DNA from these families indicated a gene on chromosome 1.

The cause of achondroplasia is a defect of the FGFR3 gene. As this eMedTV page explains, this protein interacts with specific growth factors. This page describes the gene's "achondroplasia location" on chromosome 4 and its ability to mutate. ... It is caused by a mutation in the FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) gene.
