Homozygosity of a 6/18 translocation in a hydatidiform mole.
In a complete mole the chromosome investigation revealed a reciprocal translocation 6/18 in a homozygous status. The chromosome polymorphisms of the conceptus could be derived from those of the father. The delineation of the karyotype of the conceptus is discussed. A previous pregnancy of the mother had also led to an abortion of a hydatidiform mole.
