Maternal aging remains the overwhelming factor in the etiology of human aneuploidy. Whether aberrant meiotic chromosome segregation in the oocyte relates causally to ovarian physiological aging or to some factor dependent on the passage of chronological time, remains to be determined. The present experimental studies in the mouse indicate the former. An earlier cessation of reproductive life, brought on by unilateral ovariectomy in CBA females, resulted in the earlier onset of irregular cyclicity and an earlier rise in aneuploidy. The results could not be explained on the basis of the production line hypothesis. The clinical implications are that the probability of conceiving a Down fetus will be determined by distnce in time from the approaching menopause, rather than by the chronological age of the woman per se.
