Alpha Fetoprotein


Normal Physiology
  • Alpha-Fetoprotein in pregnancy is produced by the yolk sac, fetal GI tract and liver
  • It passes via the placenta to the maternal circulation
  • It is similar in structure to albumin
  • The AFP gene is located on the q arm of chromosome 4
High Alpha Fetoprotein
  • Adults: Hepatocellular carcinoma (levels over 500 ng/ml) but 10% have normal levels and so Ultrasound often used in addition for screening for Hepatomas, acute viral or drug-induced hepatitis
  • Children : Ataxia-telangiectasia
  • Pregnancy: Neural tube defects, Multiple pregnancies, Ventral wall defects, Poor fetal growth, Eclampsia, Fetal loss
Low Alpha Fetoprotein
  • Down's syndrome: Prenatal screening - low AFP is currently offered for prenatal screening for neural tube defects and, in conjunction with free β-hCG and unconjugated estriol, for Down's syndrome
  • Germ cell tumours (nonseminoma) - In testicular cancer, a positive marker value is highly sensitive in indicating relapse or response to treatment
