Fetal alcohol syndrome: amino acid pattern.
A study of the serum amino acid concentrations in 6 children with the fetal alcohol syndrome revealed significant changes in their pattern, i.e. a decrease in hydroxyproline and proline (indicating disorders in skeletal development) and an increase especially in the alanine, leucine, isoleucine and tyrosine levels (indicating probably a damage to CNS development).
