ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between recurrent spontaneous abortion and the chromosome abnormality by analyzing the 394 couples′chromosome karyotypes.Methods Peripheral blood lymphocytes in 394 couples of recurrent spontane-ous abortion in Guangzhou area were cultured and performed the chromosome karyotype analysis.Results Among 394 couples of recrudescence abortion,41 cases (5.2%)of abnormal chromosome karyotypes were detected including 1 case(2.44%)of chromo-some number abnormality,8 cases (19.51 %)of balanced translocation,3 cases (7.32%)of Robertsonian translocation,1 case (2.44%)of chromosome inversion and 28 cases (68.29%)of chromosomal polymorphism.Conclusion The chromosomal abnor-mality is an important reason for recurrent spontaneous abortion.Recurrent spontaneous abortion is not only associated with anoma-lies of chromosome structure,and could have a certain relationship with chromosome polymorphism.
