Chromosome 15 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 15 spans about 99.7 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 3% and 3.5% of the total DNA in cells. Chromosome 15 is an acrocentric chromosome, with a very small short arm (the "p" arm ...
P – Point mutation, or any insertion/deletion entirely inside one gene; D – Deletion of a gene or genes; Dup - Duplication of a gene or genes; C – Whole chromosome extra, missing, or both (see chromosome abnormality) T – Trinucleotide repeat disorders: gene is extended in length

The three major single-chromosome mutations: deletion (1), duplication (2) and inversion (3). The two major two-chromosome mutations: insertion (1) and translocation (2). When the chromosome's structure is altered, this can take several forms: [16] Deletions: A portion of the chromosome is
Diploid organisms (e.g., humans) contain two copies of each gene—a paternal and a maternal allele. Based on the occurrence of mutation on each chromosome, we may classify mutations into three types. A wild type or homozygous non-mutated organism is one in which neither allele is mutated. A heterozygous mutation is a mutation of only one allele.
Certain mutations in OCA2 result in type 2 oculocutaneous albinism. [5] OCA2 encodes the human homologue of the mouse p (pink-eyed dilution) gene. In human, the OCA2 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 15 between positions 12 and 13.1
Long-term effects can be a permanent changing of a chromosome, which can lead to a mutation. These mutations can be either beneficial or detrimental. Cancer is an example of how they can be detrimental. [6] Other effects of point mutations, or single nucleotide polymorphisms in DNA, depend on the location of the mutation within the gene.
POLG is located on the q arm of chromosome 15 in position 26.1 and has 23 exons. The POLG gene produces a 140 kDa protein composed of 1239 amino acids. [7] [8] POLG, the protein encoded by this gene, is a member of the DNA polymerase type-A family. It is a mitochondrion nucleiod with an Mg2+ cofactor and 15 turns, 52 beta strands, and 39 alpha ...
