Abstract/OtherAbstract:
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, more commonly, doubling of a single sperm genotype. Molar pregnancies are usually sporadic, and may be accompanied by malignant transformation; however, recurrence is associated with increased risk of further affected pregnancies and of persistent trophoblastic neoplasia or choriocarcinoma. This study presents the first use of preimplantation genotyping to ensure biparental inheritance in a woman presenting with recurrent diandric complete hydatidiform mole. Following an IVF cycle, a single cell from each of 11 embryos was tested by whole genome amplification and genotyping at 16 different simple tandem repeat loci. All embryos showed normal biparental inheritance; one blastocyst was transferred, resulting in the delivery of healthy monozygotic twin girls.
