GATA3 expression in gestational trophoblastic tissues and tumours.
AIMS GATA3 is a zinc-finger transcription factor that is important for trophoblast differentiation. GATA3 is sensitive for urothelial and breast carcinomas, but the specificity is low. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of GATA3 in trophoblast-related tissues and neoplasia. METHODS AND RESULTS GATA3 immunohistochemistry was performed on 33 placentas, one atypical placenta...
متن کاملGestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
Trophoblastic neoplasms are a truly fascinating set of diseases that arise from a failed gestation. A molar pregnancy is an allograft of fetal tissue typically containing only paternal chromosomes that may invade the maternal decidua following a failed gestation that may have arisen up to decades earlier. Choriocarcinoma (CCA), the most common malignant form of trophoblastic disease, represente...
متن کاملGestational Trophoblastic Disease
In partial molar pregnancies, the trophoblast cells have three sets of chromosomes (triploid). Two sperm are believed to fertilise the ovum at the same time, leading to one set of maternal and two sets of paternal chromosomes. Around 10% of partial moles are tetraploid or mosaic in nature. There is usually evidence of fetal tissue or fetal blood cells in a partial molar pregnancy. An embryo may...
متن کاملGestational trophoblastic disease.
BACKGROUND Molar pregnancy represents a significant burden of disease on the spectrum of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD). The incidence appears to be quite high in South Asia. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of GTD, and clinical presentation, management and outcome of patients with molar pregnancy. METHODS This retrospective, descriptive study was conducted ...
متن کاملImmunogenetics of trophoblastic tumours.
The fetus is an allograft foreign to the mother by the hemizygous set of paternal alleles. In a randomly mating population the mother may be incompatible with the fetus at any locus and the chance of incompatibility is increased according to the number of alleles at that locus. The persistence of the normal human fetal allograft is a puzzle that continues to intrigue biologists. The immunobiolo...
