Array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) analysis was conducted in chorionic villous samples from 20 first-trimester spontaneous abortions with G-banding normal chromosomes. A microarray, containing 2,173 BAC clones and covering the whole genome with a 1.5-Mb resolution, was constructed and used in the analysis. Two deletions were identified: a 1.4-Mb deletion at 3p26.2-p26.3 and a 13.7-Mb deletion at 13q32.3-qter. Reexamination of chromosome preparations from the sample with the 13.7-Mb deletion documented a mixture of cells with the 13q-chromosome and those with 46,XX chromosomes, the latter of which are likely to have been derived from contaminating decidual cells. This left the 1.4-Mb 3p deletion as the only instance with submicroscopic imbalance detected, giving a frequency of 1 in 19 (5%) G-banding normal abortions. (c) 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
