A tensor-based morphometry analysis of regional differences in brain volume in relation to prenatal alcohol exposure

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2014
Reductions in brain volumes represent a neurobiological signature of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Less clear is how regional brain tissue reductions differ after normalizing for brain size differences linked with FASD and whether these ...

Common developmental trajectories and clinical identification of children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders: A synthesis of the literature

Advances in Drug and Alcohol Research, 2023
At an estimated prevalence of up to five percent in the general population, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are the most common neurodevelopmental disorder, at least if not more prevalent than autism (2.3%). Despite this prevalence in the general

A non-synonymous variant in ADH1B is strongly associated with prenatal alcohol use in a European sample of pregnant women. [PDF]

, 2009
Pregnant women are advised to abstain from alcohol despite insufficient evidence on the fetal consequences of moderate prenatal alcohol use. Mendelian randomization could help distinguish causal effects from artifacts due to residual confounding and ...
