Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown an extensive load of somatic copy number variations (CNVs) in the human placental genome with the highest fraction detected in normal term pregnancies. Hereby, we hypothesized that insufficient promotion of CNVs may impair placental development and lead to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). RPL affects ~3% of couples aiming at childbirth and idiopathic RPL represents ~50% of cases. We...
