We have carried out a population-based study on the origin of the extra chromosome 21 in 38 Families with Down syndrome (DS) offspring in El Valles (Spain). From 1991 to 1994, a higher prevalence of DS (22.7/10 000 live births, stillbirths and induced abortions) was found compared to the majority of EUROCAT registries. The distribution of trisomy 21 by origin was 88 % maternal (90.6 % meiosis I, 6.2 % meiosis II, 3.1 % maternal mosaicism), 5.6 % paternal (50 % meiosis I, 50 % meiosis II) and 5.6 % mitotic. The percentage of parental mosaicism was 2.7 %. These percentages are similar to those previously reported. Recombination study revealed a maternal meiosis I genetic map of 32.68 cM (approximately one-half the length of the normal female map). Mean maternal age among non-recombinant cases involving MI errors was significantly lower (31.1 years) than among those cases showing one observable crossover (36.1 years) (P < 0.05); this could support the hypothesis that 'achiasmate' chromosomes may be subject to aberrant segregation regardless of maternal age.
