Recurrent hydatidiform mole: detection of two novel mutations in the NLRP7 gene in two Egyptian families.
OBJECTIVES Hydatidiform mole is an aberrant pregnancy with hyperproliferative vesicular trophoblast and defective fetal development. In 2006, mutations in NLRP7 were found to be responsible for recurrent hydatidiform moles (RHM), but genetic heterogeneity has been demonstrated and mutations of C6orf221 were later reported in several families. Here we report a new Egyptian family in which two si...
متن کاملMolecular distinction of consecutive molar pregnancies.
BACKGROUND It may be difficult to differentiate the consecutive occurrence of two independent molar pregnancies from gestational trophoblastic neoplasia after the initial molar pregnancy, especially when the interval between them is short. CASE A 25-year-woman who had had a complete hydatidiform mole 6 months earlier presented with a 6-week history of secondary amenorrhea. Serum human chorion...
متن کاملPregnancies Complicated by Hemoglobin H disease
Dear Editor-in-Chief The recent report on “The Adverse Effects of Pregnancies Complicated by Hemoglobin H (HBH) Disease” is very interesting (1). Rabiee et al. reported a pregnant case complicated with HBH disease. Indeed, this problem might not common in the Middle East but it is very common in Southeast Asia. The authors hereby would like to share the experience on this top...
متن کاملPulmonary Metastatic Choriocarcinoma in a Patient with Ectopic Pregnancy
Gestational trophoblastic tumor (GTT) most commonly follows a molar pregnancy. In fact, it can occur following gestational events such as induced or spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and term pregnancy. In this study, we present the case of a patient with ectopic pregnancy who was treated with a single dose of methotrexate (MTX). The maximum titer of beta subunit of human chorionic gonad...
متن کاملRecurrent Cystic Hygroma with Normal Karyotype in Two Consecutive Pregnancies
We herein describe a woman with two consecutive pregnancies affected by fetal nuchal cystic hygroma (CH) with a normal karyotype. A 33-year-old woman (gravidity 2, parity 1) was referred to us because of fetal hydrops. No consanguinity or Rh isoimmunization was involved in her current or previous pregnancy. First-trimester ultrasonography revealed nuchal CH, and chorion villus sampling was perf...
