Here I present: Victor McKusick, “Mendelian Inheritance in Man”, 1966, Chromosome #18. Thirty-five (35) traits of chromosome #18 are listed BELOW.

Region 18p1 Traits.

Myopia, high grade, autosomal dominant.

Holoprosencephaly.

Torsion dystonia, adult-onset, focal.

Orthostatic hypotensive disorder of Streeten.

Hepatitis B virus integration site.

Retinoblastoma-binding protein.

Amyloid neuropathy, familial.

Amyloidosis, senile systemic.

Carpal tunnel syndrome, familial.

Pemphigus vulgaris antigen.

Diabetes mellitus, insulin-dependent. 

Pancreatic cancer.

Polyposis, juvenile intestinal.

Region 18q1 Traits.

Leukemia/lymphoma, B-cell.

Colorectal cancer.

Lympoma/leukemia, B-cell, variant.

Combined factor V and VIII deficiency.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily.

Parkinson disease,  susceptibility to.

Glucocorticoid deficiency.

Niemann-Pick disease, types C1 and D.

Epidermolysis bullosa.

Region 18q2 Traits. 

Synovial sarcoma.

Keratosis palmoplantaris striata.

Cholestasis.

Osteosarcoma.

Cone dystrophy.

Carnosinemia.

Protoporphyria, erythropoietic.

Squamous cell carcinoma.

Osteolysis, familial expansile.

Obesity, autosomal dominant.

Paget disease of bone.

Methemoglobinemia.

Here I presented: Victor McKusick, “Mendelian Inheritance in Man”, 1966, Chromosome #18.  Thirty-five (35) traits of chromosome #18 were listed ABOVE.  A chromosome is half protein, and half nucleic acid (RNA & DNA).  The human body is one (1) percentage  nucleic acid (shown BELOW).

HUMAN BODY COMPOSITION.
WATER 60%.
PROTEIN 16%
FAT 16%.
MINERAL 6%.
CARBOHYDRATE 1%.
NUCLEIC ACID 1%.

The “Table of Consanguinity” of bloodline names of familial relationships is shown BELOW.  Mendelian Inheritance is a pair of genes of a Person (one gene from each Parent). This means that a generation pattern of the gene is observed in the “Table of Consanguinity”.
