Molecular genetic analysis of Down syndrome

D Patterson - Human genetics, 2009 - Springer
Down syndrome (DS) is caused by trisomy of all or part of human chromosome 21 (HSA21)

Transcriptional consequences of aneuploidy

JM Sheltzer, EM Torres… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
