Preferred Label : chorionic gonadotropin, beta subunit, human;
MeSH definition : The beta subunit of human CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN. Its structure is similar to the
beta subunit of LUTEINIZING HORMONE, except for the additional 30 amino acids at the
carboxy end with the associated carbohydrate residues. HCG-beta is used as a diagnostic
marker for early detection of pregnancy, spontaneous abortion (ABORTION, SPONTANEOUS);
ECTOPIC PREGNANCY; HYDATIDIFORM MOLE; CHORIOCARCINOMA; or DOWN SYNDROME.;
MeSH synonym : chorionic gonadotropin, beta polypeptide, human; hcg beta; hcg, beta subunit; human chorionic gonadotropin, beta subunit; hcg-beta; chorionic gonadotropin, beta chain, human;
