[The relationship between the pathological classifications and molecular genetics of hydatidiform moles]
Objective:
To study the relationship between the pathological classification and molecular genetics of hydatidiform mole.
Method:
32 cases of hydatidiform mole were analyzed by DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP, hybridized with the probe 33.15).
Results:
DNA from only paternal origin was found in 21, and from both parents in 11. In the formeron the basis of pathological characteristics, the complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) and the partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) were 16 (76%, 16/21) and 5 (24%, 5/21) respectively, and in the later CHM and PHM were 5 (45%, 5/11) and 6 (55%, 6/11), respectively.
Conclusion:
There is not much correlation between pathological classification and molecular genetics of hydatidiform mole.

Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
