Abstract excerpt
Certain genetic disorders are rare in the general population, but more common in individuals with specific trisomies. Examples of this include leukemia and duodenal atresia in trisomy 21.

It is based on a very general gene-specific dosage model that posits that the trait is caused by specific effects of...
