  ABSTRACT: Background Alpha-fetoprotein, cancer antigens 15.3, 19.9, 125, carcinoembryonic antigen and alkaline phosphatase are widely measured in attempts to detect cancer and to monitor treatment response. However, due to lack of sensitivity and specificity, their utility is debated. The serum levels of these markers are affected by a number of non-malignant factors, including genotype. Thus, it may be possible to improve both sensitivity and specificity by adjusting test results for genetic effects. Methods We performed genome-wide association studies of serum levels of alpha-fetoprotein (N = 22,686), carcinoembryonic antigen (N = 22,309), cancer antigens 15.3 (N = 7,107), 19.9 (N = 9,945) and 125 (N = 9,824), and alkaline phosphatase (N = 162,774). We also examined the correlations betw
