We have determined the parental origin of 50 cases of trisomy 18. In 48 cases the additional chromosome was maternal in origin, and in 2 cases it was paternal in origin.

In contrast to the situation in nondisjunction involving chromosomes 21 and X, there was no evidence for nullochiasmate nondisjunction.
