--Mark Hill 22:56, 11 August 2010 (UTC) Well group 6 where is your work that should have been done before this week's Lab?

Hey guys, ive only really done some light background research about alpha-fetaprotein testing via wiki/google/journal articles hehe :P

Anyway, i forgot to save the links i got for the journal articles ive already printed off, but i’ll stick up their titles which can be found easily, and i’ll basically summarise the info we can use from them anyway and stick it up so we can sift through it all.

The journal articles that i remembered to save links to are as follows:

First-trimester maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein as a marker for fetal chromosomal disorders - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pd.1970141012/abstract

Amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein is not a useful biological marker of pregnancy outcome - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/%28SICI%291097-0223%28199911%2919:11%3C1031::AID-PD684%3E3.0.CO;2-7/abstract

The value of early third-trimester maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein determination - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pd.1970100308/abstract

Reduced fetal hepatic alpha-fetoprotein levels in Down' s syndrome - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pd.1970101108/abstract

Very low versus undetectable maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein values and fetal death - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pd.1970070605/abstract

I don’t know what you guys had in mind for splitting the work etc, but as it is, im quite happy to just get info, and slowly just add info the main page as it goes and let it slowly evolve from constant editing of stuff etc. And if anyone had clashes of ideas etc, then just fix/change a section and stick it up as well and we can all just edit passages as we see fit after some discussion hehe

so you guys know what other articles im looking at, so we don’t really double up on info, are as follows: The effectiveness of prenatal serum biomarker screening for neural tube defects in 2nd trimester pregnant women

Msaf values in type ½ diabetic patients

2nd trim. Msaf elevation and its association with adverse maternal/fetal outcome

Afp in the early neonatal period

Structure and function of afp
