title: Marker chromosomes in fetal loss.
abstract: The clinical significance of marker chromosomes has remained obscure especially when diagnosed prenatally. Some carriers have terminated their pregnancies. Extensive attempts have been made to characterize these chromosomes whose origin is frequently difficult to ascertain. This brief summary presents an overview of the implications for fetal loss.
