Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: An Overview [PDF]

Neuropsychology Review, 2011
When fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) was initially described, diagnosis was based upon physical parameters including facial anomalies and growth retardation, with evidence of developmental delay or mental deficiency. Forty years of research has shown that FAS lies towards the extreme end of what are now termed fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).

The Genetics of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders [PDF]

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2016
The term “fetal alcohol spectrum disorders” (FASD) defines the full range of ethanol (EtOH)‐induced birth defects. Numerous variables influence the phenotypic outcomes of embryonic EtOHexposure. Among these variables, genetics appears to play an important role, yet our understanding of the genetic predisposition toFASDis still in its infancy. We review
