Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Are segmental aneuploidies identified in human embryos more likely to occur within known fragile sites of the genome? SUMMARY ANSWER: Segmental breaks in the autosomes of human preimplantation embryos occur more frequently in known fragile areas of the genome. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Fragile sites represent specific loci in the genome characterized by inhibition of DNA synthesis when exposed to...
