The rate of nonallelic homologous recombination in males is highly variable, correlated between monozygotic twins and independent of age.
Nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR) between highly similar duplicated sequences generates chromosomal deletions, duplications and inversions, which can cause diverse genetic disorders. Little is known about interindividual variation in NAHR rates and the factors that influence this. We estima...
