Scientists hunt for blood test to predict Alcohol's harm to unborn babies

NCT ID NCT03371641

Summary

This study is trying to find out if measuring a protein called PLGF in the umbilical cord or placenta can serve as an early warning sign for brain damage in babies exposed to alcohol during pregnancy. Researchers will compare PLGF levels in 60 mother-baby pairs where the mother drank alcohol to pairs where she did not. They will then track the children's development at ages 2 and 6 to see if higher PLGF levels are linked to learning or behavioral problems.
