  • 1-150 The first figure in this column is the number of families in which both parents were informative for monosomy and the second figure is the number of families in which both parents were informative for trisomy. DNA was available from both parents in 22/27 families. The figures have been combined to obtain an overall percentage for informativeness for the marker.
