Abstract
Complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) comprise a proliferative trophoblastic disorder and are known to be androgenetic and diploid. Androgenetic CHMs are classified as having monospermic and dispermic origins. Rarely, some CHMs have other genetic constitutions, such as biparental diploid or tetraploid. Previous studies have shown the possibility that androgenetic heterozygous CHMs have an additional chromosome with high frequency. This study aimed to comprehensively analyse the molecular karyotyping of androgenetic dispermic CHMs and the parental contribution of their additional chromosomes. Single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays were performed with the genomic DNA of CHMs and patients. The B allele frequency and selected B allele frequency plotting of CHM were visualised. Among the 31 dispermic CHMs, eight showed trisomy and one showed double trisomy; of the 10 additional chromosomes, seven were of maternal original and three were of paternal origin. In addition, three disomic chromosomes comprised one maternal and one paternal chromosome, although these should theoretically have had two paternal chromosomes in the case of androgenetic CHMs. The subclassification of heterozygous CHMs, with or without maternal contribution, is a new approach and could be a candidate indicator of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia risk.Entities:

This table was extracted from the InfiniumExome-24v1 array output for both the mole and patient of case HM01. Bold lanes indicate the loci with respect to maternal AA alleles. The selected BAF plotting (by maternal AA) is depicted by the BAF of the loci with respect to maternal AA alleles.
BAF B allele frequency.
Figure 2BAF plotting of the sample including autosomal trisomic chromosomes. All samples showed segmental homozygosity throughout the autosomal chromosomes. In dotted circles, nine chromosomes represent the trisomic character, indicating the four lines AAA, AAB, ABB, and BBB. Trisomic chromosomes are presented in Table 2. BAF: B allele frequency.

*This was not determined because we could not perform the maternal SNP array analysis.
#Actual karyotypes of trisomic cases could be almost accurately determined for comparison of the BAF and LRR of disomic and trisomic chromosomes. Conversely, the possibility of tetraploidy could not be excluded strictly in the cases with euploid heterozygous CHM.

Upper and lower charts are BAF and the selected BAF, respectively. Red and black arrows show the loss of and remaining BAF near 1.0, respectively. A grey background indicates that additional chromosomes are of paternal origin. BAF B allele frequency.
Figure 4Possible developmental scenarios of dispermic fertilisation to hydatidiform moles. (a) Typical one sperm fertilisation results in growth to 2PN and normal diploid cells. (b) Typical one sperm fertilisation and second meiotic failure of the oocyte results in 1PN. Endoduplication would result in androgenetic homozygous (monospermic) CHMs. (c) Dispermic fertilisation and the second meiotic failure of the oocyte result in 2PN. The first equal division would produce androgenetic heterozygous (dispermic) CHMs (iv). (d) Dispermic fertilisation results in growth to 3PN. Division with two centrioles would result in diandric monogyny partial hydatidiform moles (vii). Uneven division would result in androgenetic heterozygous (dispermic) CHMs with additional maternal chromosomes (viii). CHM complete hydatidiform mole; PHM partial hydatidiform mole; PN pronuclei.
