The Y chromosome and its impact on health and disease.

Human molecular genetics - 1 Oct 2021

Wilson Melissa A

Abstract excerpt

The Y chromosome is the most gene-deficient chromosome in the human genome (though not the smallest chromosome) and has largely been sequestered away from large-scale studies of the effects of genetics on human health. Here I review the literature, focusing on the last 2 years, for recent evidence of the role of the Y chromosome in protecting from or contributing to disease. Although many studies have focused on...
