Phenomics:Phenotype Delineation and Diagnostic Strategies for ARND By:Larry Burd, Ph.D. North Dakota Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Center 701-777-3683 laburd@medicine.nodak.edu
NOSOLOGY • Exposure • Detection • Classification • Diagnosis
Nosological Considerations • Types of Pathological Conditions • Syndrome – cluster of symptoms • Disorder – cluster of symptoms with specific diagnostic criteria • Disease – cluster of symptoms with single, known etiology • Discrete Mental Disorders vs. Symptom Clusters & Continuum.
Preferred Performance Characteristics • Captures many – most cases • Reflects understanding of comorbidity • Does not exert a protective effect • Easy to implement • Leads to prevention of recurrence • Protects mother • Decreases secondary disability • Leads to appropriate interventions

Adverse Outcomes Due to Prenatal Alcohol Exposure Yes or No • Did mom drink? • Did she drink enough? • Abnormal signs or disorders? • Is Alcohol a contributor to outcome? • Is Alcohol casual?
