Human chromosome 12 is a submetacentric chromosome that contains 4.5% of the genetic material in the genome. It is characterized by gene clusters including those encoding homeobox C, type II keratins and proline-rich proteins. The final sequence of Human chromosome 12 has been published and annotated (Scherer et al., 2006).
