Regulation of human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit expression in ovarian cancer [PDF]
Purpose Expression of human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit by cancers is extensively documented, yet regulation of the multiple genes that can code for this protein is poorly understood.

Reduction of human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit expression by modified U1 snRNA caused apoptosis in cervical cancer cells [PDF]
Background Secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin, especially its beta subunit by malignant trophoblastic tumors and varieties of tumors of different origin is now well documented; however the role of hCG in tumorogenesis is still unknown.

Predictive value of the maternal alpha-fetoprotein variant, L2, during the first trimester of pregnancy screening for fetal trisomy 21, trisomy 18, and neural tube defects [PDF]
Background To assess the predictive usefulness of maternal serum alpha fetoprotein variant L2 (AFP-L2) for fetal trisomy 21, trisomy 18, and neural tube abnormalities (NTDs) in early pregnancy screening.

Biochemical and ultrasonographic markers in fetal surveillance [PDF]
Introduction/Objective. Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with increased fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. The study objective was to investigate the correlation of maternal blood biochemical markers routinely determined in the first

This study analyzed RNA expression of genes for three serum tumor markers, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), in patients with testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) type 2. The gene AFP encodes AFP,

Ectopic Production of the Isolated Beta Subunit of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin [PDF]
A material similar to the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG-beta) was detected in serum (300 ng/ml) and tumor extract from a 75-yr-old man with pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma. This material was indistinguishable from hCG-beta in three different types of radioimmunoassay that displayed widely varying reactions with glycoprotein ...

Fibrothecoma in a Virgo Intacta Adolescent with Elevated Levels of CA 125 and B-hCG: A Case Report
Ovarian fibromas are benign tumors that consist of spindle cells in bundles or storiformly arranged with collagen fibers in the stroma. Thecomas resemble theca interna ovarian cells, and there is lipid material in their cytoplasm.

Intramural ectopic pregnancy [PDF]
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia refers to a subset of gestational trophoblastic conditions characterized with persistently elevated serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin, absence of a normal pregnancy, and a history of normal or abnormal pregnancies ...
