[Human chromosome polymorphism and disordered reproductive function. I. Routine chromosome variants].

Routine polymorphic variants of chromosomes of 58 married couples with reproductive failure (two or more spontaneous abortions, stillbirths and malformed children) and 48 control couples, having two or more normal children and no spontaneous abortions and stillbirths, were investigated by conventional staining technique. Extreme variants of chromosomes 1, 9, 16, 17, 13--15, 21--22 and Y were found in 17.2% of subjects with reproductive loss and in 15.6% of control individuals. No significant differences in frequencies of scored routine variants were noted between married couples with reproductive failure and couples with normal reproduction.

[Human chromosome polymorphism and disordered reproductive function. II. C-variant chromosomes].

C-stained polymorphic variants of chromosomes 1, 9, 13--16, 21, 22 and Y were studied in married couples with reproductive failure (200 individuals) and in control couples having normal children and no spontaneous abortions and stillbirths. Location of heterochromatic segments, their size and heteromorphism of homologues were estimated. The individuals with reproductive failure were carriers of variants of chromosomes 9 and acrocentrics with higher content of heterochromatic material as well as with heterochromatic chromosome 9 significantly more frequently as compared with control individuals.
