Objective To investigate the relationship between spontaneous abortion and embryo genetic abnormalities and the value of chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) in the diagnosis of recurrent spontaneous abortion. Methods There were 61 cases with recurrent spontaneous abortion ( ≥ 2) accepted in Changzhou Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from September 2015 to June 2017. Chorionic villi were collected from embryos for CMA. Results CMA results were successfully obtained in all 61 cases of abortion samples. There were 36 cases of chromosome abnormality (59.0%), of which 31 cases had abnormal chromosome number (86.1%), 4 cases had abnormal chromosome structure (11.1%), and 1 case had uniparental diplont (2.7%). Conclusions CMA technique can quickly and easily detect chromosomal abnormalities of abortion tissues. It can provide more comprehensive information for abortion detection, and provide guidance for the etiological diagnosis and fertility risk assessment.
