Early cytogenetic studies found the majority of cases to be paternal in origin; however, recent molecular analyses have challenged these findings, suggesting that digynic triploidy is the most common source of triploidy. To resolve this dispute, we examined 91 cases of human triploid spontaneous abortions to (1) determine the mechanism of origin of the additional...
