The maternally transcribed gene p57(KIP2) (CDNK1C) is abnormally expressed in both androgenetic and biparental complete hydatidiform moles.
Hydatidiform mole (HM) is an abnormal gestation characterized by trophoblast hyperplasia and overgrowth of placental villi. The genetic basis in the vast majority of cases is an excess of paternal to maternal genomes, suggesting that global misexpression of imprinted genes is the common molecular mechanism underlying the genesis of this condition. Although most complete HM are androgenetic in o...
متن کاملMaternal alleles acquiring paternal methylation patterns in biparental complete hydatidiform moles.
We previously mapped a maternal locus responsible for biparental complete hydatidiform moles (BiCHMs) to 19q13.4. The two index patients had a total of 14 molar pregnancies, eight abortions at various developmental stages, and one 16-year-old healthy offspring. We suggested that the defective gene deregulates the expression of imprinted genes. Here, we report the methylation status of four impr...
متن کاملHydatidiform mole: parental chromosome aberrations in partial and complete moles.
The relationship between parental constitutional chromosome abnormalities and the development of hydatidiform mole was evaluated in series from four institutions. Karyotype analysis was performed on blood samples from 237 patients with a pathological diagnosis of complete mole and 217 of their spouses. One patient was found to have a constitutional balanced translocation, t(11;18), while one sp...
متن کاملBiparental hydatidiform moles: a maternal effect mutation affecting imprinting in the offspring.
Highly recurrent hydatidiform moles (HMs) studied to date are not androgenetic but have biparental genomic contribution (BiHM). Affected women have an autosomal recessive mutation that causes their pregnancies to develop into HM. Although there is genetic heterogeneity, a major locus maps to chromosome 19q13.42, but a mutated gene has not yet been identified. Molecular studies have shown that m...
متن کاملTetraploidy in hydatidiform moles.
STUDY QUESTION How does tetraploidy develop in hydatidiform moles (HMs), and what is the frequency of the different origins? SUMMARY ANSWER Most molar pregnancies with tetraploid cells appear to be produced by somatic endoreduplications, while a minority originate from a tetraploid zygote. The frequency of zygotic tetraploidy was estimated to be 0.7%. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The parental orig...
