Genes affected
AFP (HGNC:317): (alpha fetoprotein) This gene encodes alpha-fetoprotein, a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal life. Alpha-fetoprotein expression in adults is often associated with hepatocarcinoma and with teratoma, and has prognostic value for managing advanced gastric cancer. However, hereditary persistance of alpha-fetoprotein may also be found in individuals with no obvious pathology. The protein is thought to be the fetal counterpart of serum albumin, and the alpha-fetoprotein and albumin genes are present in tandem in the same transcriptional orientation on chromosome 4. Alpha-fetoprotein is found in monomeric as well as dimeric and trimeric forms, and binds copper, nickel, fatty acids and bilirubin. The level of alpha-fetoprotein in amniotic fluid is used to measure renal loss of protein to screen for spina bifida and anencephaly. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2019]

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 04, 2023The c.406A>T (p.I136F) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the AFP gene. This alteration results from a A to T substitution at nucleotide position 406, causing the isoleucine (I) at amino acid position 136 to be replaced by a phenylalanine (F). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
