A new pathway that could shed more light on the molecular mistakes that increase the chances of older women giving birth to babies with Down syndrome has been discovered by researchers at Dartmouth College. The study shows for the first time that new protein linkages occur in immature egg cells after DNA replication and that these replacement linkages are essential for these cells to maintain meiotic cohesion for long periods.

Pathway Discovery Could Shed New Light on Increased Risk of Birth Defects Among Older Women
A new pathway that could shed more light on the molecular mistakes that increase the chances of older women giving birth to babies with Down syndrome has been discovered by researchers at Dartmouth College. The study shows for the first time that new protein linkages occur in immature egg cells after DNA replication and that these replacement linkages are essential for these cells to maintain meiotic cohesion for long periods.
