Is there a correlation between morphological and cytogenetic findings in placental tissue from early missed abortions?

Abstract:

:A retrospective study of 200 missed abortions was performed to determine whether morphological criteria alone are sufficient to ascertain a chromosomal aetiology. Placental changes were classified into five morphological and four morphometric groups, according to the severity of alterations, and were then correlated with the cytogenetic data. The rate of chromosome anomalies was approximately 50% and was thus not significantly different within the groups II-V, but it was 80% in group I, which covered the most severe placental alterations, namely the partial hydatidiform moles. There was a high incidence of triploidies in group I, trisomies with obligatory early lethality in groups II and III, and X-monosomies in group III. Our findings do not support previous evidence regarding the specificity of certain villous alterations in association with chromosome aberrations. Indeed, they indicate that the placental villi may react similarly to chromosomal and non-chromosomal disturbances and that placental morphology depends on the severity and the temporal onset of the underlying disorder rather than on its type. With respect to chorionic villus samplings (CVS), this would mean that an abnormal villous structure may be suggestive for a chromosome anomaly but does not exclude a normal karyotype.
