1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
We have used data from chromosomally unbalanced offspring observed at birth, as well as data from sperm chromosome analysis, to study the meiotic segregation of reciprocal translocations. Using data from a total of 1,597 unbalanced children, we have observed an excess in maternal origin for all modes of imbalance.
