The parental origin of the additional chromosome complement in a total of 17 cases of triploidy was determined mainly using highly polymorphic microsatellites. Maternal origin of the triploidy was demonstrated in most cases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic evaluation of the parental origin of chromosome sets in fetuses who survived until a cytogenetic diagnosis was established. In contrast to previous investigations this study documented a predominance of maternal origin of the extra haploid set mainly due to longer survival time for digynic triploidies. The concept of 2 distinct fetal phenotypes in triploidy is clearly supported by this study.

D004276 DNA, Satellite Highly repetitive DNA sequences found in HETEROCHROMATIN, mainly near centromeres. They are composed of simple sequences (very short) (see MINISATELLITE REPEATS) repeated in tandem many times to form large blocks of sequence. Additionally, following the accumulation of mutations, these blocks of repeats have been repeated in tandem themselves. The degree of repetition is on the order of 1000 to 10 million at each locus. Loci are few, usually one or two per chromosome. They were called satellites since in density gradients, they often sediment as distinct, satellite bands separate from the bulk of genomic DNA owing to a distinct BASE COMPOSITION.
