Expression pattern alterations of the serine protease HtrA1 in normal human placental tissues and in gestational trophoblastic diseases.

29 Sep 2009 HtrA1 is a secreted protein which behaves as a molecular chaperone at low temperatures and as a serine protease at high temperatures. When the placenta escapes the normal growth control mechanisms, which are present during normal pregnancy, it may ... Read more...

Complete hydatidiform mole with retained maternal chromosomes 6 and 11.

30 Aug 2009 Distinction of hydatidiform moles from nonmolar specimens and their subclassification as complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) versus partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) are important for clinical practice and investigational studies to refine ascertainment ... Read more...

First use of preimplantation genotyping in prevention of recurrent diandric complete hydatidiform mole.

30 Jul 2009 Complete hydatidiform moles have a diploid chromosome constitution, generally with only paternal genetic material present (diandry). Diandric complete moles are thought to arise either by fertilization of an anucleate oocyte by two spermatozoa or, ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hydatidiform Mole'

Definition: Trophoblastic hyperplasia associated with normal gestation, or molar pregnancy. It is characterized by the swelling of the CHORIONIC VILLI and elevated human CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN. Hydatidiform moles or molar pregnancy may be categorized as complete or partial based on their gross morphology, histopathology, and karyotype.
