- Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) are often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, highlighting the need for quicker identification and better support for affected families.* -
- A study involving 147 children and adolescents with FASDs revealed that 42.9% had paternal alcohol consumption and 33.3% were born prematurely, with many exhibiting learning difficulties and motor skill disabilities.* -
- The study found that almost 23% of these patients also showed genetic anomalies, suggesting that FASDs entail a combination of prenatal alcohol exposure, prematurity, challenging social conditions, and genetic factors.*
