'''Alpha-fetoprotein''' ('''AFP''') is a molecule produced in the developing [[embryo]] and [[fetus]]. Blood tests to measure AFP have two main applications: (1) in pregnant women, as a screening test for some kinds of [[congenital malformation]] and (2) in adults and children, as a [[tumor marker]] for some kinds of [[tumor]].
Remarks about the translation
''', [[, and ]] are Wikipedia codes; please leave them in.
There is an inconsistency in the original English text. "Blood tests...as a screening test" is correct. but "Blood tests...as a tumor marker" is incorrect. The protein itself is the tumor marker, not the blood test...

Yes, the English source is a little awkward. That's okay. The translations will be used as "stub" articles on multiple language wikipedia; I expect those articles will be edited so that they "speak" to each cultural audience. I think this will be more effective, both on cucumis and on wikipedia, than writing a polished article in one language and only then translating the polished article into other languages.
