Summary

This study looked at 188 children (ages 0-18) in Reunion Island with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) to better describe their health and development. Researchers also took blood and cheek swabs from a smaller group to search for tiny genetic markers (microRNAs) that could help diagnose FASD earlier. The goal is to improve understanding and create a simple test for early detection.
