  • Title: Alpha-fetoprotein.
    Author: Drugan A, Dvorin E, Obrien JE, Johnson MP, Evans MI.
    Journal: Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol; 1991 Apr; 3(2):230-4. PubMed ID: 1717020.
    Abstract:
    The past year has seen major challenges to existing maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein testing protocols for both neural tube defects and chromosomal anomalies. These challenges are reviewed along with the physiology of alpha-fetoprotein; the use of amniocentesis, ultrasonography, and additional serum markers in women with elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels; and epidemiologic implications of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein screening.
