Origin of extraembryonic mesoderm in experimental animals: Relevance to chorionic mosaicism in humans
15 Jun 1993
Abstract excerpt
Confined chorionic mosaicism, a discordance in the karyotype between the fetus and placenta, occurs in 1% of chorionic villus sampling (CVS) cases. While the cytogenetic discrepancies occurring between different fetal tissues may pose clinical dilemmas, they can also be viewed as a natural experiment to determine early cell lineage relationships in the human. We reviewed extensive data in experimental animals to...
