Immune network dysregulation associated with child neurodevelopmental delay: modulatory role of prenatal alcohol exposure

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that cytokine imbalances may be at the root of deficits that occur in numerous neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder. Notably, while clinical studies have demonstrated maternal cytokine imbalances with alcohol consumption during pregnancy-and data from animal models have identified immune disturbances in alcohol-exposed offspring-to date,...
