Abstract excerpt
Carriers of either homologous or non-homologous acrocentric rearrangements are at an increased risk for aneuploidy, and, thus, for uniparental disomy (UPD). Abnormal phenotypes due to genomic imprinting are associated with UPD for the acrocentric chromosomes 14 and 15. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of UPD in a population with acrocentric rearrangements (either an isochromosome or a...
