Background It is known little about to what extent the cytogenetic abnormalities association with clinical factors including maternal age, history of miscarriage, fertilization way and ultrasonographic finding in miscarriage tissues. A comprehensive investigation had informed to reveal the relevance of the profiles of these clinical factors of miscarriage with chromosomal abnormalities and propose feasible recommendations.
Methods 478 cases of miscarriage tissue were performed by chromosomal microarray analysis between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, the collected clinical data and the genetic findings were assessed using chi-squared analysis.
Results 261 cases (54.7%) were identified as chromosomal abnormalities. Trisomy took place more frequency in advanced age of pregnancy women (p＜0.05), and it was closely related to the history of miscarriage. trisomy 16 (24.1%) was predominant in the ＜35 years group, whereas trisomy 15 (25.0%) was significantly more frequent in ≥35 years group. Trisomy 16, 15 and 13 were significantly more frequent in the first miscarriage, the second miscarriage and more than two times miscarriage, respectively. The positive rate in more than two times miscarriage in＜35 years group and ≥35 years group was 40.9% and 87.5%, respectively. More than two times miscarriages in ＜35 years was significantly difference with ≥35 years (P=0.02).
Conclusion It is necessary to perform cytogenetic analysis to the miscarriage cases which are considered about the maternal age combined with history of miscarriage.
