Birth Defects in Gulf war syndrome

[wastwater]

Is there an increase in birth defects among GWS?
Some reports have suggested there is (Download) http://birthdefects.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/VA-Presentation-GW.pdf
What I find interesting about this is the defects are mostly clustered under Neurocristopathy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurocristopathy
I myself have Axenfeld Riegers syndrome and a parental connection to Singapour and post world war 2 but not GWS
Are there any stats on birth defects in children born to mothers with FM ME/CFS and is there an increase in Autistic spectrum disorders in offspring?

@wastwater Interesting graphs. Double the birth defects for some defects. We know correlation isn't causation but still...

What is Singapour and post world war 2? Are they toxic syndromes too?

Wiki says MS could be a neurocristopathy afecting neural crest cells has this been looked at for me/cfs
Paper on me-Ireland.com was only one I found
