title: Plasma human chorionic somatomammotropin deficiency in a normal pregnancy is the consequence of low concentration of messenger RNA coding for human chorionic somatomammotropin.
abstract: Human chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS) is important in the hormonal monitoring of human pregnancies. Presented is the case of a clinically normal pregnancy in which a very low plasma level of hCS was detected. The concentration of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) coding for hCS was evaluated to determine the level on which the deficiency occurred.
