Chromosome 5
Chromosome 5 pair
Chromosome 5 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this
chromosome. Chromosome 5 spans about 181 million base pairs (the building blocks of DNA) and
represents almost 6% of the total DNA in cells. Chromosome 5 is the 5th largest human chromosome, yet
has one of the lowest gene densities. This is partially explained by numerous gene-poor regions that display
a remarkable degree of non-coding and syntenic conservation with non-mammalian vertebrates, suggesting
they are functionally constrained.[5]
Because chromosome 5 is responsible for many forms of growth and development (cell divisions) changes
may cause cancers. One example would be acute myeloid leukemia (AML).[6]

Genes
Number of genes
The following are some of the gene count estimates of human chromosome 5. Because researchers use
different approaches to genome annotation their predictions of the number of genes on each chromosome
varies (for technical details, see gene prediction). Among various projects, the collaborative consensus
coding sequence project (CCDS) takes an extremely conservative strategy. So CCDS's gene number
prediction represents a lower bound on the total number of human protein-coding genes.[7]

Chromosomal conditions
The following conditions are caused by changes in the structure or number of copies of chromosome 5:
Cri-du-chat syndrome is caused by a deletion of the end of the short (p) arm of chromosome
5. This chromosomal change is written as 5p-. The signs and symptoms of cri-du-chat
syndrome are probably related to the loss of multiple genes in this region. Researchers have
not identified all of these genes or determined how their loss leads to the features of the
disorder. They have discovered, however, that a larger deletion tends to result in more
severe mental retardation and developmental delays in people with cri-du-chat
syndrome.[14][15][16]
Researchers have defined narrow regions of the short arm of chromosome 5 that are
associated with particular features of cri-du-chat syndrome. A specific region designated
5p15.3 is associated with a cat-like cry, and a nearby region called 5p15.2 is associated
with mental retardation, small head (microcephaly), and distinctive facial features.
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis is caused by a deletion of the APC tumor suppressor gene
on the long (q) arm of chromosome 5. This chromosomal change results in thousands of
colonic polyps which gives the patient a 100% risk of colon cancer if total colectomy is not
done.
Chromosome 5q deletion syndrome is caused by the deletion of the q arm (long arm) of
chromosome 5. This deletion has been linked to several blood related disorders including
Myelodysplastic syndrome and Erythroblastopenia. This is a different condition than Cri-du-
chat which was mentioned above.
Other changes in the number or structure of chromosome 5 can have a variety of effects,
including delayed growth and development, distinctive facial features, birth defects, and
other medical problems. Changes to chromosome 5 include an extra segment of the short
(p) or long (q) arm of the chromosome in each cell (partial trisomy 5p or 5q), a missing
segment of the long arm of the chromosome in each cell (partial monosomy 5q), and a
circular structure called ring chromosome 5. A ring chromosome occurs when both ends of a
broken chromosome are reunited.
