Abstract:Polyploidy does not usually occur in germinal cells of mammals and other higher
vertebrates. We describe a unique example of mosaic autotetraploidy in the
meiosis of a human male. Although the original observations were made in the
late 1960s, we did not publish them at that time, because we expected to detect
further examples that could be described together. However, this did not occur
and we have now decided to make the observations available to demonstrate that
polyploidy in mammalian male meiosis can aris… Show more
