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
