摘要
We report a study of fertilization, syngamy and embryonic development in 14 oocytes from a woman with four previous pregnancies involving complete hydatidiform moles. Serial observations of pronuclear movements and syngamy were compared to those in a group of 10 multipronucleate embryos from other patients. One embryo and possibly two others developed normally or near-normally. The others displayed immediate cleavage or had one or three pronuclei. The tripronucleate eggs displayed various anomalous forms of growth. The unipronucleate eggs passed through a double form of syngamy, which might have involved chromosome doubting, and could have developed as androgenetic diploids. We suggest a hypothesis to explain these unusual observations.
