โฆ Synopsis
Chromosome heteromorphisms of 34 trisomic abortuses and their parents were compared to determine the origin of the extra chromosome. Fourteen of the trisomies were maternal in origin, ten resulting from a first-meiotic-division error and four from either first- or second-meiotic-division errors. No paternally derived trisomy was identified.

A total of 33 spontaneous abortuses with various acrocentric trisomies were studied for the origin of the extra chromosomes using Q- and R-band polymorphisms as markers. Eleven trisomic abortuses were informative: nine trisomic abortuses (one with trisomy 13, three with trisomy 21, and five with tri
In a recent report of chromosome analysis of a 17-week fetus, triple trisomy was found, i.e. 4 9 , X X X , + 5 , + 1 3 (Pettenati and Rao 1991). The authors comment on the rarity of this event since they found only one other reference to such a finding in an abortus with 49,XX,+2, + 5 , + 8 (Kajii e
