  1. foetoprotein

    Foetoprotein is a protein that is produced by the fetus. This protein can often be seen in higher levels in the maternal blood and amniotic fluid during pregnancy. Specifically, the term usually refers to alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), which is used as a marker in prenatal screening tests as abnormal levels can indicate certain fetal genetic disorders, like Down syndrome, or birth defects such as spina bifida. In adults, elevated levels of AFP may signal certain types of cancers, like liver, testicular, or ovarian cancer.
