Abstract
Chromosome 13 represents around 4 percent of the total cellular DNA with
115 million base pairs. It is home to various tumor suppressors and oncogenes, such as
ADP ribosylation factors like GTPase-11 (ARL11), Retinoblastoma-1 (RB1), Ras-related protein Rap-2a (RAP2A), etc. Most of the somatic mutations in this chromosome lead to cancer development. Further, deletion in this chromosome has been
reported to support the cancer of leukemias, lymphomas, etc. In this chapter, we have
tried to list cancer-causing genes and their possible oncogenesis in cancer development.
