birth defects or so called "mutations" can be caused by genetics, toxins crossing placenta during pregnancy, a large number of pregnancy complications and problems at delivery including loss of air, loss of blood and medications such as pain relievers crossing the placenta. Drinking alcohol, even once, during pregnancy can cause fetal alcohol syndrome.
