Abstract
An attempt has been made to find out the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in 100 couples with recurrent fetal wastage. The chromosomal preparations were made from peripheral blood lymphocytes and were G-banded for proper identification. Among the total persons examined, chromosomal abnormalities were found in five cases. These abnormalities included three translocations [46, XY, t (1; 2) (q32; q21);46, XX, t (3; 11) (qter; q23);45, XX, t (14q; 22q) and two mosaic aneuploides (46, XXI45, XO; 46, XXI45 Χο)).
Keywords: Foetal wastage, chromosomal anomalies and couples
