introduction: infertility is a significant multifactorial disorder that can be caused by chromosomal abnormalities. in this study, we aimed to cytogenetically investigate male and female patients admitted to the genetic diagnostic laboratory of kayseri educational hospital in kayseri, turkey with varied clinical prediagnoses of infertility. materials and methods: chromosomes from cultured perip...

this report presents the cytogenetic findings (g -banded chromosomal analysis} in 383 cases referred for suspected chromosomal abnormalities because of abnormal clinical features. chromosomal aberrations were found in 63 116.5%) of these cases, free trisomy 21 (7%) being the most common abnormality , followed by 47, xxykaryotype (4%). the breakdown figures for each group is discussed in the text.

background: cytogenetic study of reproductive wastage is an important aspect in determining the genetic background of early embryogenesis. approximately 15 to 20% of all pregnancies in humans are terminated as recurrent spontaneous abortions (rsas). the aim of this study was to detect chromosome abnormalities in couples with rsas and to compare our results with those reported previously. materi...
