Cytogenetic studies in 100 couples with recurrent spontaneous abortions.

B E Ward, G P Henry, A Robinson
PMCID: PMC1686134  PMID: 7395867

Abstract

The reported incidence of translocations in couples with recurrent spontaneous abortions ranges from 3% to 31% (average 9.3%). We report 100 couples in whom no reciprocal translocation carriers were ascertained.
