Abstract
The polymorphism of HLA antigens was used as a marker to investigate the genetic origin of hydatidiform moles in Senegal. An androgenetic etiology was demonstrated. When both parents shared HLA antigens a preferential inheritance in the mole of the shared specificities was observed. This relative compatibility of the molar conceptus with the mother may be an element of the process that prevents its early rejection.Mesh：
