The maternal age of children with CONH was significantly less than for the cerebral-palsied children which, in turn, was significantly less than for the FAS children. In addition, about one-half of the children with CONH had associated handicaps which clustered into four progressively more severe combinations. Maternal age and the occurrence of endocrine problems did not differ significantly among the clusters.
