The Impact of Aneuploidy Upon Public Health: Mortality and Morbidity Associated with Human Chromosome Abnormalities

  • Chapter
Aneuploidy

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC,volume 36))

Abstract

The rationale for a conference on the etiology and mechanisms of aneuploidy is of course based upon the well-recognized association of chromosome abnormalities with human morbidity and mortality. Down syndrome, the best recognized phenotype, is only one of numerous adverse consequences of aneuploidy.
