A review of the symposium on aneuploidy: etiology and mechanism.
A symposium titled "Aneuploidy: Etiology and Mechanisms" was held in Washington, D.C., in March, 1985. The stimulus for convening it was the growing concern that environmental agents with the capacity to induce aneuploidy can have detrimental effects on human health. Major components of the symposium were devoted to an analysis of human aneuploidy, mechanisms by which aneuploidy originates, and tests for the symposium, its conclusions, and major uncertainties in the field.
