Сhildren with FAS from Republic Sakha Yakutia were detailed by means of 4-digit Diagnostic Code, routine and age-dependent developmental neurological assessment, brain ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The FAS rate varies from 0,88 to 2,10 per1000 live births. Peculiarities of dysmorhial and structural cerebral abnormalities depending on ethnicity of the child are identified.
