Although rare, complex chromosomal rearrangements have been reported in the literature. The result is multiple congenital malformations in the offspring and recurrent spontaneous abortion. Chromosome 7 is usually involved, but in our patient chromosome 18 was involved.
Data are presented confirming that placental chromosome abnormalities are more important than fetal chromosome abnormalities in determining fetal loss. Improved methodologies for studying chromosome abnormalities in spontaneous abortion (SAB) are presented that include results for 141 cases (gestati
