Triploidy is the most frequent chromosome aberration in first trimester spontaneous abortions. In contrast to aneuploidies due to nondisjunction, increased maternal age is not a risk factor and the mechanism of triploidy remains poorly understood. To date, recurrence of triploidy of maternal origin has been described only in a few families suggesting some underlying genetic factors. Here, we report on a woman who underwent three consecutive triploid pregnancies, in two of which maternal origin of triploidy was proved by molecular analysis.

Abstract

Triploidy is the most frequent chromosome aberration in first trimester spontaneous abortions. In contrast to aneuploidies due to nondisjunction, increased maternal age is not a risk factor and the mechanism of triploidy remains poorly understood. To date, recurrence of triploidy of maternal origin has been described only in a few families suggesting some underlying genetic factors. Here, we report on a woman who underwent three consecutive triploid pregnancies, in two of which maternal origin of triploidy was proved by molecular analysis.
