Abstract
Partial mole is distinguishable from complete mole with coexisting normal twin after delivery by DNA polymorphysm analysis. Our patient had chorionic villus sampling of a molar-appearing placenta with coexisting fetus at 12.3 weeks. Absent maternal alleles confirmed a diandrogenetic complete mole. Prenatal DNA diagnosis of complete mole is possible and clinically useful.
