Abstract

A case of a triploid embryo (69,XXX) resulting from in vitro fertilization is reported. The pregnancy ended in spontaneous abortion 44 days after embryo transfer. The embryo showed anomalies considered typical of triploidy but molar changes were not noted. The origin of extra chromosomes was apparently maternal.
