There is no genetic component that results in conjoined twins. They are created by an imperfect separation of identical twin concepti.

Wilson's disease is caused by a mutation in the ATP7B gene, which is located on chromosome 13. This gene encodes a copper-transporting enzyme involved in copper metabolism. Mutations in this gene lead to impaired copper transport and accumulation of copper in various tissues, causing the symptoms of Wilson's disease.
Lowe syndrome is caused by a mutated gene on the X sex chromosome. Because it is X-linked, it occurs almost exclusively in males.
In ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the chromosome primarily affected is chromosome 9. A gene called C9orf72 located on this chromosome is linked to a significant percentage of familial ALS cases. Other genetic mutations on different chromosomes can also contribute to ALS development.
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.
Obviously.
Chromosome 2
if you mean chromosome its the 15th......
Chromosome 21 is tripled in Down syndrome.
Chromosome number 8. (Gene: RECQL4 gene.)

Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
A twin gene is called an Allele - One of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
Barth syndrome occurs when a person is born with a mutated, or abnormal, TAZ1 (or G4.5) gene. This abnormal gene is located on the X chromosome, which is a sex-determining chromosome. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
Chromosome numbers: 1, 14, 19, and 21 are affected by Alzheimer's disease.
When a gene is linked to a chromosome, it means that the gene is physically located on that chromosome. This means that the gene is inherited along with the chromosome it is located on, and may be inherited together with other nearby genes on the same chromosome.
no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...
