Scientists hunt for genetic fingerprints to detect FASD earlier
NCT ID NCT06471335
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 188 children (ages 0-18) with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) in Reunion Island to better describe the condition and find a unique "epigenetic signature" in their DNA. Researchers collected blood and cheek swabs from a small group of children with FASD and compared them to healthy children. The goal is to develop a simple test that could lead to earlier diagnosis and help affected children get support sooner.
