Description

A hydatidiform mole is a benign gestational trophoblastic disease developing during pregnancy. Resulting from an abnormal fertilization characterized by trophoblastic proliferation, normal embryo development is rendered impossible. Hydatidiform moles can be either complete or partial. In rare cases of recurrent moles in the same patient or in the same family (< 1% of cases), a mutation in the NLRP7 or KHDC3L genes have sometimes been found.
