| trisomy 21 |
A trisomy for chromosome number 21, or an extra chromosome-21. This is the most common of the trisomies and gives rise to Down syndrome. Research has shown that the commonest source of the extra chromosome is a mistake in the first division of meiosis in the egg cell (during the many years it rests as a primary oocyte).
