background: different studies show that chromosomal balance translocation in the parents can cause recurrent spontaneous abortions. incidence of chromosomal translocation abnormalities in couples with repeated abortions is from 0% to 31%. objective: the purpose of this research was studying the presence or absence of chromosomal abnormalities and heteromorphism in couples with recurrent abortio...

STUDY QUESTION Is there any effect of maternal age on chromosomal anomaly rate and spectrum in recurrent miscarriage? SUMMARY ANSWER There was no significant difference in the chromosome abnormality rate between sporadic and recurrent miscarriage but the chromosome abnormality rate increased significantly with maternal age. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY About 50-70% of non-recurrent miscarriages oc...

in this study, chromosome analyses were performed on 70 infertile azoospermic and oligospermic (<20 million/ml) men, and also cultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes by high resolution banding method were analysed as well. it is revealed 8 (11.43 percent) men with chromosomal abnormality. there were 31.4 percent patients with azoospermia and 68.6 percent with oligospermia from several thousand...

objective: chromosomal aberrations are common causes of multiple anomaly syndromes. recurrent chromosomal aberrations have been identified by conventional cytogenetic methods used widely as one of the most important clinical diagnostic techniques. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, the incidences of chromosomal aberrations were evaluated in a six year period from 2005 to 2011 i...

Background A significant number of pregnancies, particularly in women with previous histories of infertility, are associated with fetal abnormalities. Methods such as the nuchal translucency (NT) measurement enable us to identify more pregnancies with chromosomal abnormalities. MaterialsAndMethods This analytic cross-sectional study was performed in 446 pregnant women at 11-14 weeks gestation, ...

OBJECTIVE Firstly, to assess the completeness of ascertainment in the National Congenital Anomaly System (NCAS), the basis for congenital anomaly surveillance in England and Wales, and its variation by defect, geographical area, and socioeconomic deprivation. Secondly, to assess the impact of the lack of data on pregnancies terminated because of fetal anomaly. DESIGN Comparison of the NCAS wi...

purpose: to assess the frequency and type of associated malformations and chromosomal anomalies among patients with anophthalmia, microphthalmia, and coloboma in sistan and baluchestan province. methods: patients with a clinical diagnosis of anophthalmia, microphthalmia, or coloboma were examined to find any anomaly in craniofacial, muscle-skeletal, cardiac, neurologic and urogenital systems. a...

Background & Aims: Chromosome abnormalities are a major cause of miscarriage and neonatal mortality. The present study aimed to determine the association of fetal and parents chromosomal abnormalities with congenital anomalies. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in a tertiary referral center (Afzalipour Hospital) over 16 months period (2011-2012). The study groups consisted of 77 fe...
