Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to analyze qualitative and quantitative characteristics of chromosome anomalies in abortus under undeveloped pregnancy. The cytogenetic analysis was implemented concerning embryonic material obtained after artificial abortion of undeveloped pregnancy in 57 women. The percentage of abnormal karyotypes made up to 67.3%. The number abnormalities prevailed among chromosome disorders. The structural alterations of chromosomes occurred significantly rarely. The cytogenetic analysis of abortion material can become a valuable diagnostic tool permitting to establish the role of genetic factors in termination of pregnancy both in cases of natural conception and application of ART.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...

The centromere is a DNA sequence that links sister chromatids. This is also where kinetochores, protein complexes to which spindle microtubules attach, are constructed after the chromosome is replicated. The kinetochores allow the spindle microtubules to move the chromosomes within the cell during cell division.
Telomeres consist of non-coding repetitive nucleotide...
