Errors of the Egg: The Establishment and Progression of Human Aneuploidy Research in the Maternal Germline

Abstract excerpt

Meiosis, a key process in the creation of haploid gametes, is a complex cellular division incorporating unique timing and intricate chromosome dynamics. Abnormalities in this elaborate dance can lead to the production of aneuploid gametes, i.e., eggs containing an incorrect number of chromosomes, many of which cannot generate a viable pregnancy.
