Despite extensive clinical and laboratory testing, half of the RM cases remain unexplained. We report the genetic analysis of a couple with eight miscarriages and the search for their potential genetic etiology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Short tandem repeat (STR) markers, single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) microarray, and human DNA methylation microarray were used to analyze the genotypes of two miscarriages. Exomes sequencing was performed on DNA from the two partners and identified variants were validated by Sanger sequencing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>STR marker genotyping demonstrated that the two available miscarriages are triploid digynic and resulted from the failure of Meiosis II. SNP microarray analysis revealed an additional Meiosis I abnormality that is the segregation of the two maternal homologous chromosomes in one triploid miscarriage. Whole\u2010exome sequencing on DNA from the two partners identified candidate variants only in the female partner in two genes with roles in female reproduction, a missense in <jats:italic>EIF4ENIF1<\/jats:italic> (OMIM 607445) and a stop gain in <jats:italic>HORMAD2<\/jats:italic> (OMIM 618842). EIF4ENIF1 is a eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E nuclear import factor required for the oocyte germinal vesicle breakdown, and HORMAD2 is part of the synaptonemal complex that was hypothesized to act as a checkpoint mechanism to eliminate oocytes with asynapsis during meiotic prophase I in mice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>While both genes may contribute to the phenotype, the Meiosis I abnormalities in the conceptions favor the causal role of <jats:italic>HORMAD2<\/jats:italic> in the etiology of RM in this couple. This report illustrates the importance of comprehensively analyzing the products of conception to guide the search for the genetic causation of RM.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/mgg3.2402","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,24]],"date-time":"2024-02-24T07:15:36Z","timestamp":1708758936000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A homozygous stop codon in <i>HORMAD2<\/i> in a patient with recurrent digynic triploid miscarriage"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Manqi","family":"Liang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Genetics Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre  Montreal Quebec Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beena","family":"Suresh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Genetics &amp;
