Summary

This study looks at whether a substance called PLGF in the umbilical cord can act as an early warning sign for brain damage caused by drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Researchers will compare PLGF levels in 60 mothers and their babies—half exposed to alcohol, half not—and then check the children's development at ages 2 and 6. The goal is to find a reliable way to diagnose fetal alcohol syndrome earlier, so kids can get help sooner.
