“…Multiple adverse reproductive outcomes, including increased minor and/or major congenital anomalies, have been reported from some cohort and cross-sectional studies and clinical case series that have examined the effect of moderate alcohol exposure in utero. [1][2][3] Other studies have found no increase in congenital anomalies among infants with moderate in utero exposure to alcohol, 4 -8 but many have reported a significant increase among infants with heavy exposure. 9 -16 The specific association between in utero alcohol exposure and renal anomalies comes from several case reports and clinical case series in humans, 16 -19 usually infants and children with fetal alcohol syndrome, and from experimental studies in animals.…”

“…Une é tude cas-té moin rapporte é galement un risque de FCS accru (OR = 1,2 ; IC 95 % = 0,81-1,9) pour une consommation supé rieure à 72 g/semaine versus une consommation de moins de 6 g/semaine. Cinq autres é tudes retrouvent un risque de FCS significativement accru, même en consommant moins d'un verre par jour [87][88][89][90][91]. La recommandation pour la femme enceinte demeure donc claire et intransigeante en prô nant l'abstinence complè te.…”
