• Removing parenthetical comment "(not counting the Y chromosome)". In the page history the author justifies this change by stating that the Y chromosome is actually smaller. This is incorrect. The current genome build (36.2) lists the Y chromosome as 57.8 million nucleotides and chromosome 21 as 46.9 million nucleotides in length, making it the smallest chromosome as the initial page author indicated. The chr 21 and Y pages do list the correct sizes though. --- Pat shea

It would be helpful to synch up the Disease names with their related genes. myabe put the gene symbol in parenthesis after the disease? B.K. 16:56, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
