PG - 517-525 LID - 10.1007/s10815-020-01703-y [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To study the contribution of embryo chromosomal abnormalities in primary and secondary recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and to analyze the recurrence of chromosomal constitution in miscarriages from the same couple. METHODS: Retrospective study of abortion karyotypes in RPL families based on the mother's primary or secondary RPL status (563 embryo specimens, 335 samples from primary, and 228 samples from secondary RPL). RPL was defined as two or more consecutive miscarriages. One hundred eight cases of recurrent embryo/fetal loss in 51 families were analyzed to assess the probability of having the same karyotype pattern (recurrent normal or recurrent abnormal) in both previous and subsequent pregnancy loss. The karyotypes of abortions were established using standard cytogenetic analysis, as well as interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). RESULTS: The frequency of aberrations was 43.9% in abortions from primary RPL versus 52.6% in secondary RPL (p = 0.041). Women 35 years of age or older were the main contributors to this difference. The odds ratio of a subsequent abortion having the same karyotype pattern (normal or abnormal) as the previous one was 6.98 (p = 0.0013). CONCLUSION: The frequency of abnormalities is higher in abortions from the secondary RPL versus primary RPL group, and this difference is due to the relative deficiency of miscarriages with abnormal karyotypes in older women with primary RPL. The probability of having the same karyotype pattern (recurrent normal or recurrent abnormal) in the previous and subsequent abortion is increased significantly compared with chance.
