Evaluation of deletions in 7q11.2 and 8p12-p21 as prognostic indicators of tumour development following molar pregnancy

While we have defined a minimal interval in 8p12-p21 in which tumour suppressor genes involved in GTT are likely to be located, the data suggest that deletions in 7q11.2 or 8p12-p21 are unlikely to be useful prognostic indicators in the management of patients with molar pregnancies.
