Abstract

Objectives: Chromosomal abnormalities are an important cause of especially early miscarriages. The aim of this study was to analyze the chromosomal aberrations and determine the frequencies of numerical and structural chromosome abnormalities in spontaneous abortion materials. Methods: This was a prospective research and ninety two abortion samples obtained from women who had one or more miscarriages were included in the study. Conventional karyotype analysis was performed on each sample to identify possible chromosomal abnormalities. Results: By karyotype analysis, 11 polyploidy cases, (9 triploids and 2 tetraploids), 8 trisomies (one of which was mosaic), 2 monosomies (monosomy X), 1 isochromosome, 1 Xq deletion, and 4 translocations were detected in abortion materials. Isochromosome and Xq deletion cases were also mosaic. In addition, five polymorphic variants were revealed. We found higher paternal age in polyploidy cases. Conclusion: The most common anomaly we found in abortion materials was polyploidy. This was followed by aneuploidy (trisomy and monosomy). Polyploidy (triploidy or tetraploidy) emerged as an important cause in cases of spontaneous abortion. Paternal age may be associated with polyploidy especially triploidy.
