Children with autism were more likely to have mitochondrial dysfunction, mtDNA overreplication, and mtDNA deletions
- High fasting serum homocysteine and low folate and vitamin B12 levels could be used as clinical biomarkers for an early diagnosis and management of autism Ali et al, 2011.
Blood levels and other physiology
- Children with autism had much lower levels of total short chain fatty acids including lower levels of acetate, proprionate, and valerate
- Plasma levels of chemokines involved in the T-helper cell immune system and hematopoiesis were lower in the children with Autism compared with unrelated siblings without Autism Manzardo et al, 2011
Toxins
- DDT (the pesticide dichlorodiphenyltriichloroethene , has been associated with autism Audouze and Grandjean 2011
- Organochlorine pesticide applications--specifically dicofol and endosulfan--occurring immediately before and during central nervous system embryogenesis have been associated with the subsequent development of autism spectrum disorders Roberts et al, 2007
