Abstract |
Chromosomal abnormality is one of the main causes for the repeated spontaneous abortion. A 31-year-old patient, otherwise normal woman who had experienced three consecutive miscarriage were karyotyped using peripheral blood cells. The patient has been found to have a novel, balanced translocation, with a formal karyotype of 46,XX,der (7)t (7;10) (q22;q26). The present result suggests that chromosomal analysis may be necessary for diagnosing the couples experiencing repeated spontaneous abortion. |
