The objectives of the present review are to compare the clinical manifestations and analyze the mutational basis of these two AFP genetic disorders in accordance with presently accepted models of AFP gene regulation. [jps.dergipark.gov.tr]

In the present case, a very low percentage of AFP-L2 and L3 indicated no residual or recurrent tumor. [academic.oup.com]

    The test was originally obtained as partof an extensive endocrine evaluation for accelerated growth andadvanced bone age (equivalent to 9 years and 6 months old). Aninitial AFP level was 55 ng/ml (normal disease. [documents.tips]

  • Tall Stature

    Both had stable persistently elevated AFP levels [12,19].Clinically our patient was healthy except tall stature and advancedbone age, likely secondary to constitutional advanced growth.The molecular mechanism underlying HPAFP has been studiedin seven [documents.tips]

  • Suggestibility

    The mother delivered a live, healthy female at term and a repeat maternal serum AFP postpartum remained markedly elevated, suggestive of hereditary persistence of alpha-fetoprotein. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Failure of the AFP value to return to normal by approximately 1 month after surgery suggests the presence of residual tumor. [mayomedicallaboratories.com]

After radical orchiectomy and a negative workup for metastatic disease, his AFP level dropped, but remained mildly elevated over the normal range for six months. [thedoctorsdoctor.com]

Attention should therefore be paid to this benign condition to prevent misdiagnoses in those patients with elevated AFP levels. Three specific polymorphisms in the AFP promoter gene have been pointed out as etiologic explanations for HPAFP ( 6 ). [academic.oup.com]
