Fertility in a male with trisomy 21

R Sheridan et al. J Med Genet. 1989 May.

Abstract

We review the published reports on reproduction in cases of non-mosaic trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome) and present the first fully documented case of a non-mosaic male with Down's syndrome fathering a pregnancy, a fact which has important implications in the light of caring for these people in the community.
