Analysis Tools| Glossary Term | Uniparental Disomy |
| Definition | The inheritance, in adiploid organism, of both copies of a singlechromosome from one parent. This may result from the union of agamete bearing two copies of one chromosome with a gamete bearing no copy of that chromosome, or from the union of a gamete bearing two copies of one chromosome with a normal gamete, followed by the loss of one chromosome through an error inmitosis. Because ofimprinting, uniparental disomy can havephenotypic consequences in mammals. See, for example,Prader-Willi Syndrome. |
