Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Prenatal exposure to alcohol can damage the developing fetus and is the leading preventable cause of birth defects and intellectual and neurodevelopmental disabilities. In 1973, fetal alcohol syndrome was first described as a specific cluster of birth defects resulting from alcohol exposure in utero. Subsequently, research unequivocally revealed that prenatal alcohol exposure causes a broad ...
Prenatal maternal alcohol exposure: diagnosis and prevention of fetal
Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a developmental and congenital disorder characterized by neurocognitive impairment, structural defects, and growth restriction due to prenatal alcohol exposure. ... This has always been cited in basic and clinical research articles that have identified alcohol-related malformations. In 2005, Hoyme et al. ...

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: A Case Study
The estimated prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) is conservatively around 1%; however, a recent study in North America found rates as high as 4.8% of the school-age population is affected by prenatal alcohol exposure, indicating a significant public health concern ( May et al., 2014; May et al., 2015 ).

PDF Advances in Research on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are the broad range of neurodevelopmental and physical effects that result from prenatal exposure to alcohol. People with FASD may have facial abnormalities and growth impairments, but the most profound effects are cognitive and behavioral deficits.
Association of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure With Psychological, Behavioral
Fetal alcohol syndrome is associated with brain anomalies, postnatal growth restriction, and facial dysmorphology, as well as psychological, behavioral, and cognitive deficits . Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is a more inclusive umbrella term used to describe individuals within the overarching category of prenatal alcohol exposure, including ...
Prevention of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
The Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) recommends that all patients be screened routinely for alcohol use during the preconception, antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum periods using a validated tool. Screening should be ongoing during these periods, and when clinically indicated, early referral to intervention and treatment to prevent fetal alcohol ...

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) are leading causes of neurodevelopmental disability but cannot be diagnosed early in utero. Because several microRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in other neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, the effects of EtOH exposure on the expression of these miRNAs and their target genes and pathways were assessed. In women who drank alcohol (EtOH) during ...

Families with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders: Exploring adoptive
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is the leading non-genetic cause of developmental disability in Canada. It poses many challenges at the individual, family and societal levels. This study explores adoptive parents' experiences of having a child with FASD in their family and how these experiences impact family well-being and ...

Neurodevelopmental profile of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: A
In an effort to improve the screening and diagnosis of individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), research has focused on the identification of a unique neurodevelopmental profile characteristic of this population. The objective of this review was to identify any existing neurodevelopmental profiles of FASD and review their classification function in order to identify gaps and ...
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)—part of the National Institutes of Health, the Nation's medical research agency— funds research on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) with projects on preventing prenatal alcohol exposure, treating women with alcohol use disorder, improving the diagnosis of FASD, establishing more precise prevalence estimates of FASD in ...
Perspectives and Recent Advances in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
The most common environmental cause of intellectual disability is fetal alcohol exposure. Exposure to ethanol during fetal development causes fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), a major public health problem with a high prevalence (~2-7%) and financial cost for society, with billions of dollars being spent annually on health care, lost productivity, and legal costs. FASD is associated with ...

Internationally, the known adverse effects of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (PAE) in utero on a fetus is by no means a recent phenomenon. There has been recognition and acknowledgement of the effects of PAE as early as 1968 (Lemoine et al., Citation 2003) when Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) was first described, and in 1973 when the first diagnostic criteria were established (Jones et al., Citation ...
A hidden epidemic of fetal alcohol syndrome
Even before the pandemic, FASD was a significant problem. Experts estimate that 2% to 5% of U.S. schoolchildren—as many as 1 in 20—may be affected by prenatal alcohol exposure, which can cause complications with growth, behavior, and learning. The effects on individuals and families, as well as the economic costs, are substantial.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: An Overview
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).

Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can interfere with both embryonic and fetal development, producing a wide range of outcomes that fall under the rubric of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). FASD is the nondiagnostic umbrella term used to refer to the full range of effects that can occur following prenatal alcohol exposure.
Understanding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
The term fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) refers to a range of physical, cognitive, and behavioral abnormalities caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Depending on the features identified, the disorders categorized as FASD 15,16 include: Fetal alcohol syndrome; Partial fetal alcohol syndrome; Alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the percentage of pregnant women who consume alcohol increased from 7.6% in 2012 to 10.2% in 2015, and the number of pregnant women ...

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Despite centuries of alcohol use, the first two clinical reports of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) in English literature did not appear until 1973, published in the journal Lancet by a group of investigators from the University of Washington, Seattle. The first paper (Jones et al. 1973) described the common dysmorphic and developmental problems in eight children of alcoholic women.
