Half chromatid mutations: transmission in humans?

Half chromatid mutations: transmission in humans?

S M Gartler et al. Am J Hum Genet. 1975 Mar.

Abstract

Attention is drawn to the possibility of half chromatid and early somatic mutations and to several implications of these mosaic-yielding events. There is suggestive evidence that spontaneous mutations can result in mosaics. A world-wide cooperative study of Lesch-Nyhan families could determine the extent of half chromatid mutation transmission and early somatic mutation in humans.
