Is maternal meiosis II nondisjunction in trisomy 21 associated with maternal low socioeconomic status?
Maternal lifetime exposure to poor socioeconomic environment is a risk factor for a trisomy 21, particularly if nondisjunction leads to a maternal meiosis II.
Our study demonstrates for the first time that raloxifene and clomiphene affect the secretion of PRL in postmenopausal women in a similar manner. It is suggested that oestradiol stimulates the secretion of PRL in women by acting through oestrogen receptors.
