CONGENITAL DEFICIENCY IN ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN

Description

Congenital deficiency in alpha-fetoprotein is a benign genetic condition characterized by a dramatically decreased level of alpha-fetoprotein in fetus or neonate.

Most common symptoms of CONGENITAL DEFICIENCY IN ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN

  • Decreased levels of alpha-fetoprotein

HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN

Description

Hereditary persistence of alpha-fetoprotein is a benign genetic condition characterized by persistence of high alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels throughout life, with no associated clinical disability and thus no need for specific therapy

Most common symptoms of HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN

  • Carcinoma
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma
  • Teratoma
  • Elevated alpha-fetoprotein
