Trivial Pursuit Round Two

We were given over 30 random questions to look up for Dr. SNL. One of these questions was "Which disease is associated with Chromosome 7?" Now, since I didn't know the answer to this questions I used my good friend Google and discovered to find the "Chromosome 7-Genetics Home Reference" which is a website maintained by the National Institute of Health. They listed about 20-30 diseases associated with Chromosome 7. When Dr. SNL asked me about the question, I was happy to report all of the diseases on the list. From that point on, I think Dr. SNL liked me. I was playing his game of Trivial Pursuit and for one round, I beat him at his own game.

While I was typing up this blog post, I found another site, "The Chromosome 7 Annotation Project" which is sponsored by The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. This website lists over 360 diseases associated with Chromosome 7. 360! Talk about Trivial Pursuit!
