First meiotic division abnormalities in human oocytes: mechanism of trisomy formation
14 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Trisomy is the single most frequent type of chromosome abnormality in humans and has considerable impact on many aspects of human pathology. It arises most commonly through "nondisjunction" at maternal meiosis I, but the underlying mechanism of formation remains obscure.
