So I know choriocarcinoma can induce a state of hyperthyroidism. I'm mostly curious about other possible implications of the shared alpha subunit between these four hormones. Can hydatidiform moles induce hyperthyroidism? Does choriorcarcinoma also have an affect on stimulating LH/FSH receptors (potentially leading to high androgens/estrogens or some such)? Can primary hypothyroidism cause high enough TSH to stimulate other receptors?

Thanks. Now what's with your typing? Half the time it's normal, half the time you capitalize the 1st letter of every word And It Is Sometimes Strange To Read Sentences Written In That Manner
