Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: Less than 10% of couples with three or more consecutive pregnancy losses show chromosomal defects on routine cytogenetic testing. The objective of this work was to study the role of these defects on infertility and recurrent abortion, for the first time in Costa Rica. Karyotype analysis of 71 couples showed normal results except for seven people. This renders a 4,9% frequency of chromosomal defects in this population. The abnormalities found were mos 45,X / 46,XX in two women and one case each of 45,XY, der (13;14)(q10:q10). 46,XX, t (8;21), 46,XY, t (?;18), mos47XX, +22 / 46,XX and mos 47,XY, +mar /46,XY. These couples received genetic counselling and were offered prenatal diagnosis in any subsequent pregnancy
