[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 437277, member: 1991"] I didn't think fetal alcohol syndrome would show up in genetic testing. Not unless the alcohol has caused major damage in the DNA. And since the damage form alcohol occurs through different stages of pregnancy, including after the baby has formed and its blood as formed, I don't see how a blood test looking at the DNA will show it. That DNA would have been formed before the alcohol did its damage. HaoZi, there is a lot of stuff gets researched that never makes it any further, for all sorts of reasons. Even if it looks good and gets published, it can take ten years or more from the stage you described, to the tests becoming generally available and funded by insurance. It would be interesting to know more. Marg [/QUOTE]
