摘要
Human embryos that develop in the presence of chromosomes solely of paternal origin give rise only to a disorganized mass of placental derivatives known as a complete hydatidiform mole. A new study reports that mutations in NALP7, a gene thought to be involved in inflammatory and apoptotic pathways, occur in human females whose biparental conceptuses can develop as apparent complete moles.
