Abstract excerpt
NLRP7 is a maternal-effect gene that has a primary role in the oocyte. Its biallelic mutations are a major cause for recurrent diploid biparental hydatidiform moles (HMs). Here, we describe the full characterization of four HMs from a patient with a novel homozygous protein-truncating mutation in NLRP7. We found that some HMs have features of both complete and partial moles. Two HMs expressed p57 in the...
