Specifically, it is often mentioned in relation to the [[1p/19q co-deletion]], a genetic alteration commonly associated with certain brain tumors, such as [[oligodendroglioma]]s. ---- The short arm, or 1p, and the long arm, or 1q, each contain various genes and genetic information responsible for a wide range of biological functions and traits. Changes, [[deletion]]s, or [[mutation]]s in specific genes located on chromosome 1p can be associated with genetic disorders or diseases. Studying specific regions of chromosome 1p and identifying the genes located there is essential for understanding the genetic basis of various medical conditions and can be useful for both clinical genetics and research purposes. Researchers and geneticists investigate chromosome 1p as part of their efforts to unravel the genetic underpinnings of various diseases and traits.
