The melanocortin 4 receptor (__MC4R__) is routinely investigated for the role it plays in human obesity, as mutations in __MC4R__ are the most common dominantly inherited form of the disease. As little is known about the evolutionary history of this locus, we investigated patterns of variation at __
## Abstract In this review, we focus on the evolutionary and biomedical aspects of the architecture of human chromosome 3 (HSA3) by analyzing chromosomal regions that have been conserved during the evolutionary process, compared to those that have been involved in the genomic restructuring of diffe
