Plasma human chorionic somatomammotropin deficiency in a normal pregnancy is the consequence of low concentration of messenger RNA coding for human chorionic somatomammotropin.
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.
