Abstract excerpt
The concept of uniparental disomy--the presence of a chromosome pair derived solely from one parent in a diploid offspring--was introduced in 1980 as a probable consequence of the high rate of germ cell aneuploidy in man, and has now been convincingly demonstrated through molecular analyses in several families. A most likely mechanism for the production of uniparental disomy is the chance reunion, and...
