Prognosis
"What we know is that early diagnosis may mean a better prognosis, because it means we can put some interventions in place early on," says Julianne Conry, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia who assesses children for FAS. [come-over.to]
When it is connected with fetal developmental deviations, the prognosis depends on the infant's general condition. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
The underlying molecular etiology remains unknown; therefore, prenatal diagnosis of recurrences depends on identification of the associated structural anomalies on second trimester ultrasound examination. [karger.com]
