Causes: Chromosomal abnormalities, [1] [5] uterine abnormalities [6] Risk factors: Being an older parent, previous miscarriage, exposure to tobacco smoke, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, drug or alcohol use [7] [8] [9] Diagnostic method: Physical examination, human chorionic gonadotropin, ultrasound [10] Differential diagnosis
Trisomy 16 is a chromosomal abnormality in which there are 3 copies of chromosome 16 rather than two. [1] It is the most common autosomal trisomy leading to miscarriage, and the second most common chromosomal cause (closely following X-chromosome monosomy). [2] About 6% of miscarriages have trisomy 16. [3]
A chromosomal abnormality, chromosomal anomaly, chromosomal aberration, chromosomal mutation, or chromosomal disorder is a missing, extra, or irregular portion of chromosomal DNA. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] These can occur in the form of numerical abnormalities, where there is an atypical number of chromosomes, or as structural abnormalities, where one or ...
Complete trisomy 8 causes severe abnormalities in the developing fetus and can be a cause of miscarriage. [2] [3] Complete trisomy 8 is usually a gestational lethal condition, whereas trisomy 8 mosaicism is less severe and individuals with a low proportion of affected cells may exhibit a comparatively mild range of physical abnormalities and developmental delay.

Turner syndrome (TS), commonly known as 45,X, or 45,X0, [note 1] is a chromosomal disorder in which female cells have only one X chromosome instead of two, or are partially missing an X chromosome (sex chromosome monosomy) leading to the complete or partial deletion of the pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1, PAR2) in the affected X chromosome.
Karyotype of a human with Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Trisomies can occur with any chromosome, but often result in miscarriage rather than live birth.For example, Trisomy 16 is most common in human pregnancies, occurring in more than 1%, but the only surviving embryos are those having some normal cells in addition to the trisomic cells (mosaic trisomy 16). [3]
[3] [5] Women with trisomy X average higher schizotypy, reporting higher levels of introversion, magical thinking, and impulsivity. [17] Around 30% are affected by thought problems and 13% have been diagnosed with psychotic or bipolar disorders. [18] Schizophrenic women are more likely to have trisomy X than the general female population. [24]
Some research suggests that chromosomal abnormalities occur more frequently in sporadic pregnancy loss than in recurrent pregnancy loss, and the incidence of RPL is lower in women with 3 or more pregnancy losses. [7] Parental chromosomal abnormalities is a rare cause of RPL, found in approximately 2-4% cases.
