Chromosome 4 is the fourth largest of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. Chromosome 4 spans about 186 million base pairs, the building blocks of DNA, which are tightly packed and supercoiled to form the DNA's helical structure. This chromosome represents around 6% to 6.5% of the DNA in the human genome and contains around 1000 to 1100 genes.

Some of the diseases and conditions linked to chromosome 4 include:

  • Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia, forms of short-limbed dwarfism
  • Thanatophoric dysplasia type 1
  • Crouzon syndrome with acanthosis nigricans
  • Muenke syndrome
  • Bladder cancer
  • Colorectal cancer or bowel cancer
  • Cervical cancer
  • LADD syndrome
  • CATSHL syndrome
  • Skin lesion formation
  • Thanatophoric dysplasia type II
