✦ Synopsis

In a study of spontaneous abortions the correlations between karyotype (166 cases), anamnestic data, and macroscopic and histologic findings in placentas (107 cases) and embryos (73 cases) were analyzed. The main results were: 1. The rate of chromosomal aberrations was 39%. Trisomies predominated (60%), followed by monosomy X (20%), triploidies (14%), and structural aberrations (6%). 2. In trisomies a clear prevalence of female sex constitution (2:1) was observed. In normal karyotypes a slight prevalence of females was seen (1.2:1). 3. With increasing maternal age, more trisomies were found in the abortions. 4. Women whose index abortion had a normal karyotype had a history of fewer births but more abortions. 5. Trisomies of acrocentric chromosomes were mainly chorionic sacs with an embryo, while trisomies of the other autosomes resulted in intact empty sacs. 6. The average developmental stage of the embryos was 5 weeks, with a mean gestational age of 14 weeks. Gross malformations were found in 58% of the embryos.

Cytogenetic and flow cytometric analyses were performed on 38 human spontaneous abortions in an attempt to obtain information on karyotype abnormalities and to compare the two approaches of analysis. In 19 cases, it was not possible to perform cytogenetic analysis because too long a time had passed

The karyotypes of 941 singleton and 42 twin abortuses and 4 cystic placentae were determined. 30.5% of the singletons were chromosomally abnormal; 49.8% of these were trisomic, 23.7% X-monosomics and 17.4% polyploid. 143 trisomies were identified by banding; over a third had an extra chromosome 16,

Several cytogenetic studies have reported an increased frequency of aneuploidy in peripheral blood cultures of couples with multiple spontaneous abortions. However, in none of the studies have the chromosome constitutions of the fetuses been known, making it difficult to interpret these observations
