Limited Availability of Short Tandem Repeat Genotype Testing in the United States for Diagnosis of Partial Hydatidiform Mole: A Dilemma for Practicing Precision Medicine.

Abstract excerpt

The pathogenetic definition of a partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) is a diandric triploid gestation, thereby requiring short tandem repeat (STR) genotype testing for definitive diagnosis in formalin-fixed products of conception (POC) specimens. However, recent literature shows there is limited access to this test, even in high-income countries. Therefore, we hypothesized that in the United States, access to this...
