Maternal sex chromosome non-disjunction: evidence for X chromosome-specific risk factors
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
Human trisomy is attributable to many different mechanisms and the relative importance of each mechanism is highly chromosome specific. The association between altered recombination and maternal non-disjunction is well documented: reductions in recombination have been reported for maternal meiosis I (MI) errors involving chromosomes 15, 16, 18 and 21 and increased recombination has been reported for meiosis II...
