NCT ID NCT03371641

First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a substance called PlGF can act as an early warning sign for brain damage in babies exposed to alcohol before birth. Researchers will compare PlGF levels in the umbilical cord, placenta, and mother's blood between 60 mothers who drank alcohol during pregnancy and those who did not. The goal is to find a reliable way to identify children at risk for developmental problems, so they can get help sooner.
