Hidden DNA Process Tied to Miscarriages, Down Syndrome
What is the hidden DNA process behind miscarriages and infertility? A little-noticed DNA process governs how chromosomes are distributed when eggs and sperm are formed. This process, rooted in the biology of meiosis, ensures that offspring inherit the correct number of chromosomes. When it falters, the result can be aneuploidy — cells with too many…
