Chromosome abnormalities in 150 couples with multiple spontaneous abortions. 1982

P Husslein, and J Huber, and P Wagenbichler, and W Schnedl

One hundred fifty consecutive couples with recurrent abortions with or without fetal deaths, malformations, or healthy infants were evaluated cytogenetically with a G-band method. Seven couples (4.7%) showed a chromosome aberration in one partner (5 translocations, 1 inversion, and 1 gonosomal mosaicism). Of the couples with a pure abortion history, 2.9% had a chromosomal abnormality. A high incidence of chromosomal rearrangements in the groups of couples with abortions plus fetal deaths or malformations was found. In contrast to other reports, a high incidence of cytogenetic abnormalities was also found in couples with abortions and healthy infants. Chromosome analysis is advocated as a primary tool in the evaluation of couples with repetitive fetal wastage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007446 Chromosome Inversion An aberration in which a chromosomal segment is deleted and reinserted in the same place but turned 180 degrees from its original orientation, so that the gene sequence for the segment is reversed with respect to that of the rest of the chromosome. Inversion, Chromosome,Inversion, Chromosomal,Chromosomal Inversion,Chromosomal Inversions,Chromosome Inversions,Inversions, Chromosomal,Inversions, Chromosome
D008297 Male Males
D009030 Mosaicism The occurrence in an individual of two or more cell populations of different chromosomal constitutions, derived from a single ZYGOTE, as opposed to CHIMERISM in which the different cell populations are derived from more than one zygote.
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D002869 Chromosome Aberrations Abnormal number or structure of chromosomes. Chromosome aberrations may result in CHROMOSOME DISORDERS.

D002871 Chromosome Banding Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping.
