High amounts of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) do not appear to directly result in any harmful effects. Rarely, extremely high levels of human chorionic gonadotrophin may signal the placenta's hyper-proliferation (also known as hydatidiform moles or molar pregnancies), which in certain cases might result in a cancerous tumour (choriocarcinoma). Occasionally, human chorionic gonadotrophin levels may also be raised in connection with some malignancies unrelated to pregnancy (e.g. kidney, breast, lung and gastrointestinal tract). Human chorionic gonadotrophin levels in the blood or urine can act as a tumour marker in such circumstances.
High amounts of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) have also been linked to the development of Down's syndrome during pregnancy. Human chorionic gonadotrophin levels have been shown to be around twice as high in a pregnancy with Down's syndrome as they are in an unaffected pregnancy, according to studies.
