Incidence and aetiology of hydatidiform mole: an epidemiological review

British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
M B Bracken

Abstract

Epidemiological investigation of the incidence and aetiology of hydatidiform mole (HM) is receiving increasing attention. Recent, population-based studies suggest that earlier reports of a very high incidence of HM in Asia, Africa and South-Central America may have been exaggerated, due primarily to selection bias in patients studied at university hospitals. Japanese population studies indicate a two-fold higher rate of HM compared with Caucasian rates but Chinese rates appear to be similar. Population studies presently available suggest a worldwide range of HM somewhere between 0.5 and 2.5/1000 pregnancies. When deliveries form the rate denominator the rates are somewhat higher, depending primarily on the national rate of induced abortions. The independent effects on incidence of geographic locale, ethnicity and socio-cultural factors have not been adequately disentangled although the genetic studies suggest ethnicity might be the predominant variable. Maternal age is the most consistently demonstrated risk factor; teenagers and, especially, women over age 35 being at increased risk. The independent effects of paternal age and pregnancy history are not established. Women with a history of one HM seem to have a ten-fold risk of...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
