Sera from 50 mothers of G1-trisomy affected children and from 50 age-matched mothers, whose offspring included no chromosomal-aneuploidy affected children, were tested for presence of antinuclear antibody factors and nuclear staining with human squamous epithelium and with mouse liver. Consistently, more of the mothers of G1-trisomy affected children included positive findings in both tests, compared to the age-matched mothers.
