In these cases, the [p57.sup.-] cells are androgenetic (usually diploid) and the [p57.sup.+] cells are biparental (usually also diploid, but some can be triploid or tetraploid or a mixture of these).31,32,34 The p57 immunostain is interpreted as "divergent" when 2 populations of villi, each with different morphologies, exhibit 2 different staining patterns (eg, a typical "negative" result in one set and typical "positive" result in the other set).
