title: [The role of chromosomes in the aetiology of human abortion].
abstract: Of 27 specimens of abortus tissue from first-trimester spontaneous abortions investigated, 26% had chromosome abnormalities. In contrast, the investigation showed that the incidence of chromosome abnormalities in 36 midtrimester cases was only 2,8%. Two of 19 ectopic pregnancies had abnormal chromosome complements.
