The medications studied include some statins, antidepressants, anxiety medications and cardiovascular drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cholesterol biosynthesis is essential for the proper development of the brain. When it is interfered with, the article states, children may be born with or develop complex neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism, fetal fentanyl syndrome and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The July Journal of Clinical Investigation article puts in context previous publications by members of the same team and their national and international collaborators, including more than 125 other well-respected, peer-reviewed publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UNMC and CHRI\u2019s Karoly Mirnics, MD, PhD, corresponding author of the article and dean and director of the Munroe-Meyer Institute, said the impact of interference in the prenatal sterol biosynthesis pathway with sterol biosynthesis-inhibiting medications (SBIMs) is well-documented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/news\/autism-study\/index.html\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/news\/autism-study\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"our recently published study of 6.14 million health records, opens in a new window\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our recently published study of 6.14 million health records<\/a> from mothers and their children across the United States &#8212; about one out of every three births between 2014 and 2023 &#8212; show that among women who were prescribed these medications, there was a significantly increased incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in their children,\u201d&nbsp;he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA particular concern is that utilization of these medications by pregnant women is on a steep rise, more than tripling over the decade from 2014 to 2024,\u201d said UNMC and CHRI\u2019s Eric Peeples, MD, PhD, associate professor in the UNMC Division of Neonatology and lead author of both the new review of scientific literature and that earlier publication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The April <em>Molecular Psychiatry<\/em> study found that the prescriptions of these medications during pregnancy increased from 4.6% of pregnancies in 2014 to 16.8% of pregnancies in 2023. Notably, the 15 studied medications were among the most commonly prescribed drugs in the U.S., with more than 400 million times a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Mirnics and co-author Zeljka Korade, DVM, PhD, professor in the&nbsp;UNMC&nbsp;Division of Pediatric Inherited Metabolic Diseases, were among the group of researchers that first identified the mechanism underlying fetal fentanyl syndrome (FFS), also through inhibition of the same biological system: sterol biosynthesis in the developing brain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concern that SBIMs used during pregnancy could lead to adverse outcomes \u201cis not new,\u201d as the authors state in their paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMedication package inserts (FDA-approved prescription information) developed by pharmaceutical companies clearly state the risks of medications if taken during pregnancy,\u201d the article states. \u201cUnfortunately, although the package inserts are easily accessible for physicians and patients, the relevant data are often buried in the large amount of information in them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Mirnics and his co-authors also point to the 2015 \u201cretirement\u201d of the FDA\u2019s A,B,C,D and X pregnancy medication risk categories, in favor of \u201cnarrative sections and subsections.\u201d According to their view, while this new approach provides more nuanced information, it can cause confusion and could be counterproductive for prescribing healthcare workers and patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Mirnics suggests the studies his team reviewed may be only the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cApart from the more apparent dysmorphologies and dysfunctions, we are left with the question of whether inhibiting fetal sterol biosynthesis can result in other developmentally rooted challenges, such as anxiety, OCD and ADHD, that do not appear until much later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMore research is clearly needed, but these grave concerns should not be ignored,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review calls attention to brain development risks associated with certain
