All about Chromosome 3
Most humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell which then divides into 23 pairs. There are 2 copies of chromosome 3, one from the father and the other from the mother to make up one of the pairs. Chromosome 3 is part of the DNA builing blocks, it is about 6.5 percent of the total DNA in cell. To identify genes on chromosome 3 is an active area of genetic research. there are differnet ways to estimate the number of genens is chromsome 3, which is about 1,100 to approximately 1,500 genes in total. The genes do various different roles.
Chromosome 3 has some of the medical information contained in the human body. This chromosome is responsible for regulating a wide Range of bodily functions. Which leads to some of the disorders that are very rare to have but some humans do have it. Including the Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome that affects the brain, immune system, and skin. Very rare to have, so rare that the amount of humans/children that may have it is unknown.

Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome
Aicardi-Goutieres Sydrome is a disorder that mostly affects the brain, immune system, and skin. Usually new borns do not show any signs or symptons at birth. About 20 percent are born wiht an enlarged liver or spleen (hepatosplenomegaly) elevates the blood levels in the liver enzymes. Decrease in blood platelets (thrombocytopenia) and abnormal responses. From all these sings it means the immune system is responding to the congenital viral infection, no infection is really found in infants but often Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is referred to "mimic of congenital infection".
