Spontaneous abortion occurs in 8–20% of recognized pregnancies and usually takes place in the first trimester (7–11 weeks). There are many causes of pregnancy loss, but the most important (about 75%) is the presence of chromosomal aberrations. We present the results of oligonucleotide array application in a cohort of 62 miscarriage cases. The inclusion criteria for the study were the loss after 8th week of pregnancy and the appearance of recurrent miscarriages. DNA was extracted from trophoblast or fetal skin fibroblasts. In the 62 tested materials from recurrent miscarriages, the detection rate was 56.5% (35/62). The most commonly found were aneuploidies (65%) (chromosomal trisomy 14, 16, 18, 21, and 22), Turner syndrome, and triploidy (17.1%). Other chromosomal abnormalities included pathogenic and likely pathogenic structural aberrations: 1) pathogenic: deletion 7p22.3p12.3 and duplication 9p24.3p13.2 inherited from the normal father, deletion 3q13.31q22.2 and deletion 3q22.3q23 of unknown inheritance and duplication of 17p12 inherited from father with foot malformation; 2) likely pathogenic variants: deletion 17p13.1 inherited from normal mother, deletion 5q14.3 of unknown inheritance and de novo deletion 1q21.1q21.2. Among these aberrations, six CNVs (copy number variants) were responsible for the miscarriage: deletion 7p22.3p12.3 and duplication 9p24.3p13.2, deletion 3q13.31q22.2 and deletion 3q22.3q23, and deletion 17p13.1 and deletion 1q21.1q21.2. Other two findings were classified as incidental findings (deletion 5q14.3 and 17p12 duplication). Our research shows that 17% of the aberrations (6/35 abnormal results) that cannot be identified by the routine kariotype analysis are structural aberrations containing genes important for fetal development, the mutations of which may cause spontaneous abortion.
