ABSTRACT

Introduction: Down syndrome (DS) or trisomy 21 is the most common chromosomal abnormality in live birth children. Most cases are regular triso-mies 21 secondary to a maternal non-disjunction (ND). Meiotic and parental origins have been recently investigated by segregating genetic markers from DNA hypervariable regions.
Objective: to identify the meiotic and parental origin in children with regular trisomy 21.
Materials and methods: there were analyze 20 groups of three (every group included parents and child with Down syndrome). There were used soothe following markers: D21S11, D21S1260, and D21S265.
Results: the ND occurred during the first meiotic division (M1) in 13 cases and at the second meiotic division (M2) in the other seven. Twelve out of the 13 NDs from the first group were maternal and one paternal. The parental origin within the M2 group was not elucidated.
Conclusions: meiotic origin was identified in all cases. As in other reports, the origin of trisomy 21 in the present population is mainly secondary to a maternal ND in M1.
