  1. PAE Prenatal alcohol exposure group
  2. Handedness information was not available for 7 participants (5 PAE, 2 comparison)
  3. aHeight or weight ≤ 10%ile
  4. bHead circumference ≤ 10%ile
  5. cAt least two of the following: Palpebral fissure length ≤ 10%ile, thin vermillion border, smooth philtrum (4 or 5 on lipometer scale). The two comparison group participants who had “dysmorphic faces” had scores of 4 on the philtrum and 4 on the vermillion border; neither had any other facial features nor abnormal growth parameters
