What chromosome is celiac associated with?

Celiac disease is associated with genes located on chromosome 6, particularly the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes. These genes play a role in the immune response to gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye, and barley that triggers the autoimmune response in individuals with celiac disease.


The human gene associated with color vision are located on the what chromosome?

The human genes associated with color vision are located on the X chromosome. Specifically, the genes for three types of color receptors (cones) - blue, green, and red - are located on the X chromosome. This is why color blindness, which is more common in men, is often linked to mutations in these genes due to their presence on the X chromosome.
