Abstract excerpt
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of tooth traits has been reported to be increased in Down syndrome patients as well as hybrids between chromosomal races of the house mouse differing in several Robertsonian (Rb) fusions. Developmental stability, assessed by FA, is thus thought to be impaired by spontaneous chromosomal abnormality or by chromosomal heterozygosity. Although the effect of a single fusion on developmental...
