Summary: Serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were monitored in 32 normal babies consecutively from 2 to 3 days, 2 wk, and 2 and 4 months after birth. In addition, serum AFP concentration was also measured in 116 random specimens from infants with normal liver enzymes and 10 infants born imma...
Maternal serum AFP levels during each trimester of pregnancy were normal indicating that these levels cannot be used as a screening test in prenatal diagnosis. Three-year follow-up after birth showed constantly elevated serum levels in the patient from the start, suggesting a lack of postnatal ...

Objective: To establish a reference distribution of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) at 11–13 weeks’ gestation and define the contribution of maternal variables that influence the measured concentration of AFP. Methods: Serum concentration of AFP at 11–13 weeks was me...

Maternal serum pregnancy specific beta-1 glycoprotein (SP-1) levels in the second trimester may be predictive of Down syndrome (DS). An enzyme immunoassay was used to measure SP-1 sera from 46 DS pregnancies and 117 normal control women matched for maternal age, gestational age, and length ...
A direct association between elevated values of hCG within the normal range (02.0 MoM) and pathological TT was noticed (OR = 2.6, p < 0.01). On the other hand, an inverse correlation between elevation in AFP (02.0 MoM) and uE3 was found (OR < 0.01, p < 0.01; OR < 0.01, p < ...
