Abstract

The extent of the potential risk to the developing foetus posed by the use of alcohol by the mother during pregnancy is increasingly understood, although the precise nature of the threat requires a great deal of further work. Whereas Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is increasingly researched and acknowledged in some places, for example, South Africa, in Europe it is not as firmly on the agenda. It is therefore interesting in its own right. Equally, as more is understood about genomics, FASD becomes an example of other questions about the impact of parental behaviour on the embryo and foetus.
