Scientists at UC-San Diego discovered 14 biochemical pathways linked to 80% of metabolic impact in autism.

Scientists at the University of California-San Diego have discovered early metabolic changes linked to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Studying newborn children and 5-year-olds diagnosed with autism, they found that 14 out of 50 investigated biochemical pathways were responsible for 80% of the metabolic impact of autism, with the most affected pathways related to the body's cell danger response. These findings may lead to new early detection and prevention strategies for ASD.
