The parental type of most HMs are either diandric diploid (PP) or diandric triploid (PPM).

Second-Trimester Diagnosis of Triploidy: A Series of Four Cases

Triploidy occurs in 2 to 3% of conceptuses and accounts for approximately 20% of chromosomally abnormal first-trimester miscarriages. As such, triploidy is estimated to occur in 1 of 3,500 pregnancies at 12 weeks', 1 in 30,000 at 16 weeks', and 1 in 250,000 at 20 weeks' gestation.
