Answer 1

A baby born with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) may have the following:

• Delayed growth: Yes, FAS is associated with growth deficiencies both prenatally and postnatally.

• Heart defects: Yes, cardiac anomalies are common in individuals with FAS.

Fetal alcohol syndrome does not typically cause cirrhosis and liver failure or an increased risk of cancer directly related to FAS. Instead, the primary concerns are related to developmental, behavioral, and physical issues, including the growth and structural heart defects mentioned.

So, the applicable selections are:

• Delayed growth.
• Heart defects.
