Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To determine the applicability of rapid, sequence specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based HLA class II genotyping for the distinction of complete from partial hydatidiform moles (HM) using DNA extracted from formalin fixed and paraffin wax embedded tissue. METHODS: Nine HM were studi...
