We now have a zebrafish model 🐟 to better dissect the genetics underpinning Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders #FASD - thanks to @CaKizil @gaattagca @NIAAAnews preprint here 👇🏼 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
A new project from our lab! Fascinating #admixture study on this underrepresented South African population and the risk profile for Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders #FASD. 1% to 5% of U.S. first graders have FASD! @NIAAAnews medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
