A 48,XXY,+21 Down syndrome patient with additional paternal X and maternal 21


Lorda-Sanchez, Isabel; Petersen, Michael B; Binkert, Franz; Maechler, Marco; Schmid, Werner; Adelsberger, Patricia A; Antonarakis, Stylianos E; Schinzel, Albert (1991). A 48,XXY,+21 Down syndrome patient with additional paternal X and maternal 21. Human Genetics, 87(1):54-56.

Abstract

The origin of meiotic nondisjunction of the extra chromosomes X and 21 was studied in a patient with the karyotype 48,XXY,+21 using DNA polymorphisms. The extra chromosome X was the result of paternal first meiotic nondisjunction of X and Y. The extra chromosome 21 was derived from the mother. The meiotic error in the mother most probably occurred in meiosis II. Thus, this is a combination caused by the chance occurrence of two independent events.
