Molecular genotyping of placental site and epithelioid trophoblastic tumours; female predominance [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To investigate a large series of placental site trophoblastic tumours (PSTT) and epithelioid trophoblastic tumours (ETT) and determine the relationship between their development and the type and sex of both the immediately antecedent and ...

Assessment of cell proliferation in hydatidiform mole using monoclonal antibody MIB1 to Ki-67 antigen [PDF]
Aims - To assess the role of Ki67 immunoreactivity in predicting the clinical progress of hydatidiform mole. Methods - Tissue from 87 hydatidiform moles, 11 normal first trimester placentas, 11 normal term placentas and 17 spontaneous abortions were ...

Recurrent hydatidiform mole (RHM) is characterized by the occurrence of at least twice hydatidiform mole. Unlike sporadic complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs), which are androgenetic with 2 paternal chromosomes, CHMs associated with familial recurrence are

Telomerase activity in gestational trophoblastic disease [PDF]
Aims - To investigate the pattern of telomerase activity in hydatidiform mole as compared with normal placenta and choriocarcinoma, and to determine the prognostic significance of telomerase activity in hydatidiform mole. Methods - Telomerase activity in

Septic shock in a woman with a hydatidiform mole: A case report
Hydatidiform moles can be fatal because of the risk of massive bleeding or thyroid storm; however, they rarely occur concomitantly with sepsis. We present herein the case of a woman with a hydatidiform mole with septic shock.

Lack of involvement of known DNA methyltransferases in familial hydatidiform mole implies the involvement of other factors in establishment of imprinting in the human female germline [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Differential methylation of the two alleles is a hallmark of imprinted genes. Correspondingly, loss of DNA methyltransferase function results in aberrant imprinting and abnormal post-fertilization development.

Early diagnosis and treatment of hydatidiform mole in adolescent pregnant woman [PDF]
Hydatidiform mole belongs to the spectrum of gestational trophoblastic disorders in which abnormal conception leads to excess placental tissue formation in the absence of fetal development. The incidence of hydatidiform mole is quite rare so that not all

p21(WAF1/CIP1) expression in gestational trophoblastic disease: correlation with clinicopathological parameters, and Ki67 and p53 gene expression [PDF]
Background--The p21(WAF1/CIP1) gene mediates growth arrest by inhibiting G 1 cyclin dependent kinases and has been considered as a downstream effector of the tumour suppressor gene p53.
