I have read several times, that after having had a child with DS (or other chromosomal disorder), one is at an increased risk of having another, even if the genetic disorder is 'de novo' and not inherited. When 'increased' I mean higher than other mothers in the same age range.
Can anybody explain me why this is or point me to literature or links?
Thanks.
