“…Triploidy occurs frequently among early spontaneous abortions, comprising 20 per cent of all chromosomally abnormal fetuses (Boue et al, 1975;Carr and Gideon, 1978). Triploidy is often associated with molar changes of the placenta (Szulman and Surti, 1978a, b;Szulman et al, 1981a, b;Poland and Baillie, 1978). In fact, Ornoy et al (1978) suggested that the association of triploidy with molar placental changes may be one of the major reasons for loss of triploid pregnancies.…”
