  • Nonmosaic balanced homologous translocations of major clinical significance: some may be mosaic
    posted on 11/01/07 by
    The main mechanism proposed for formation of homologous translocations/isochromosomes is mitotic and if this occurs in a chromosomally normal conceptus, mosaicism would be expected to be seen. The lack of mosaicism in published cases of rearrangement (REA) of mitotic origin might be explained by under-detection due to the low level mosaicism for a normal line. Recently it was reported that sex-specific centromere instability in early embryogenesis leads to a female prevalence among individuals w
