title: [Chromosome analysis in abortion].
abstract: Many spontaneous abortions are caused by chromosome abnormalities of zygotes or embryos. We found chromosome aberrations in 15 of 59 successful cultivated tissues of miscarriages. The detecting of one trisomy 2 in these investigations is remarkable. At the same time we examined the chromosomes of couples suffering from repeated abortions. 21 of 512 tested females and 12 of 474 tested males showed abnormal chromosome sets. The results and their consequences are discussed.
