Dissecting the Genetic Contributions to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (DiG FASD)
Investigating Genetic Factors in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

Brief description of study.
The purpose of the “Dissecting the Genetic Contributions to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders” (DiG FASD) study is to understand how genetics affects FASD.
Detailed description of study
Researchers at Indiana University are recruiting individuals who were exposed to alcohol before birth or who have an FASD diagnosis. We will ask you for your contact information, demographic information (such as age, gender, and race), and any information you might know about your prenatal alcohol exposure, or any previous FASD evaluations. We will ask you to take a photo of yourself and to provide a saliva sample. You can do EVERYTHING from home. There are no in-person visits. There is no cost to you.
Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: Prenatal alcohol exposure,Fetal Alcohol Syndrome,FASD,FAS
-
Age: 1 years - 100 years
-
Gender: All
The DiG FASD study wants to enroll adults and children who speak English and were prenatally exposed to alcohol or have an FASD diagnosis.
This study investigates the genetic factors that may influence Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). FASD is a group of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. The study aims to understand how genetics play a role in these conditions.
Participants will provide contact information, demographic details, and information about prenatal alcohol exposure or FASD evaluations. They will also take a photo of themselves and provide a saliva sample. All procedures can be completed from home without any in-person visits.
- Who can participate: Adults and children who speak English and were exposed to alcohol before birth or have an FASD diagnosis can participate.
- Study details: Participants will provide contact information, demographic details, and information about prenatal alcohol exposure or FASD evaluations. They will also take a photo of themselves and provide a saliva sample. All procedures can be completed from home without any in-person visits.
- Study Visits: The study requires 0 visits.
