New insights into human nondisjunction of chromosome 21 in oocytes.

TL;DR: Analysis of maternal meiosis I errors indicates that a single telomeric exchange imposes the same risk for nondisjunction, irrespective of the age of the oocyte, and emphasizes the fact that human nondisJunction is a multifactorial trait that must be dissected into its component parts to identify specific associated risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Examination of FMR1 transcript and protein levels among 74 premutation carriers

TL;DR: Results showed that the mean FMRP level among carriers with 80–89 repeats was significantly higher than the mean levels among lower and higher premutation carriers, in spite of the increasing transcript level with repeat length.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered patterns of multiple recombinant events are associated with nondisjunction of chromosome 21

TL;DR: Characteristics of maternal chromosomes 21 that exhibited multiple recombinant events on 21q are examined to determine whether additional risk factors or mechanisms are suggested and to better understand mechanisms that may underlie both age-related and nonage-related meiotic chromosome mal-segregation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of factors associated with paternal nondisjunction of chromosome 21.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that selection against female fetuses with trisomy 21 may contribute to the excess of males observed among all individuals with tr isomy 21.
