Patient's question:
Female, 32, 80 days pregnant with no fetal heartbeat or fetal stalk, natural miscarriage. Test results of the miscarried product show an extra chromosome in the 16th pair. Is this the cause of the miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Everyone should have 23 pairs of chromosomes. This embryo has an extra chromosome in its 16th pair, which is what we commonly refer to as a chromosomal abnormality. Even if such an embryo manages to survive, it will be deformed. There are many reasons that can lead to chromosomal abnormalities. In addition to intergenerational genetic factors, any factor that may be detrimental to human health could cause chromosomal during the embryo's development. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
