When someone has facial changes due to fetal alcohol syndrome are they passed down to their children?

Asked by JLeslie (65412points) June 21st, 2010

So, I guess I am asking if the changes are mutagenic? Not sure if that is the right word? Some of the mild changes I know of are eyes farther apart, nose kind of turned up, and thinner lips, especially upper lip. So let’s say the person who has some of these characteristics gets pregnant, but never drinks, will these traits still be passed down?
