Abstract excerpt
Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome (DS) is the most frequent genetic etiology of intellectual disability in humans. MDM2 gene expression has a potential role as a risk factor for human aneuploidy. -410T-G (rs2279744) functional polymorphism in MDM2 gene impacts on the mechanisms of chromosomal non-disjunction. We analyzed, within a case-control study, such polymorphism in mothers of subjects with DS. Nucleotide...
