Abstract
Single cell translocations have been previously reported to occur in normal lymphocyte cultures. Comparison of the frequency of these in 140 individuals referred for a history of multiple miscarriages and 415 individuals referred for a history of multiple miscarriages and 415 individuals referred for other reasons showed a significantly greater number of single cell translocations in the former group. This group also had a significantly greater number of other types of single cell structural abnormalities. Increased chromosome instability, chromosome mosaicism, residual fetal trophoblasts, and immunological differences are discussed in considering the possible etiology.Mesh:
