Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: NLRP7 (NALP7) has been identified as the major gene involved in the inherited predisposition to recurrent molar pregnancies, a rare recessive condition in which affected individuals have complete hydatidiform moles of diploid biparental origin (BiCHM). The role of NLRP7 in other types of molar pregnancy and reproductive wastage has not been conclusively demonstrated. The purpose of this study was to...
