Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is characterized by a range of effects including abnormal facial features (A), behavioral problems such as difficulty with attention and hyperactivity (B), learning disabilities or developmental delays (D), and it can also include congenital heart defects, which may present as a heart murmur (E). Bowed legs (C) are not typically associated with FAS, but rather with other conditions such as rickets.
