Methylation profiles of imprinted genes are distinct between mature ovarian teratoma, complete hydatidiform mole, and extragonadal mature teratoma
1 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Mature ovarian teratoma is considered to be a parthenogenetic tumor that arises from a single oocyte/ovum. Conversely, complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) is androgenetic in origin: classic CHM arises from a single or two sperm. Since mature ovarian teratoma and CHM have only maternal and paternal genomes, respectively, their genome imprinting is theoretically reverse, but this has yet to be investigated. Genome...
