- Term: non disjunction
- Gramatical category: s
- Definition: The failure of paired chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate and go to different cells during meiosis.
- Context: Over 300 cases of trisomy 21 were analyzed to characterize the causes of maternal non-disjunction and to evaluate the basis for maternal age-dependent trisomy 21. We confirmed the observation that recombination along 21q is reduced among non-disjoined chromosomes 21 and further demonstrated that the alterations in recombination are restricted to meiosis I origin.
