Chromosome 17 and 18 each contain around 1,200-1,500 genes. Chromosome 17 is associated with conditions like acute promyelocytic leukemia and neurofibromatosis type 1. Chromosome 18 is associated with conditions such as Niemann-Pick disease, Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, and osteopetrosis. Pitt-Hopkins syndrome is caused by mutations in the TCF4 gene on chromosome 18 and is characterized by developmental and facial abnormalities.
