Looking for personal opinions on the sentences below. Is the use of the verb abort acceptable to you there?

In case of this type of genetic malformation, the embryo will abort.

In case of this type of genetic malformation, an embryo will abort itself.

I'd say it's acceptable -- it gets the idea across, and the part after the comma is short and concise (especially the first one). The words before the comma are perhaps a bit verbose, though. You could just say:

With this [type of] genetic malformation, the embryo will abort.
