“…hCG and hyperglycosylated hCG levels can vary very greatly between individual pregnancies. At 4 weeks gestation, total hCG levels in term outcome pregnancies can vary from 2.0 to 1760 mIU/ml or vary by 888-fold, at 5 weeks gestation total hCG levels can vary from 11 to 7680 mIU/ml or vary by 700 fold, and at 6 weeks of gestation can vary from 8.4 to 6920 mIU/ml or vary by 820-fold (55). How can normal term outcome hCG concentration vary so greatly?…”

“…How can normal term outcome hCG concentration vary so greatly? As demonstrated, variation comes from inappropriately dating pregnancies, dating them to the start of the last menstrual period rather than to day of implantation (start of appearance of low concentrations of hCG) (55). The other issue that cause the wide variation in hCG levels is that individual pregnancies amplify hCG differently.…”
Article shows the multiple functions that hCG variant have in pregnancy, and in normal pituitary function in women. As also shown, hCG variants are misused by all human malignancies to drive growth, invasion and metastases.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
