ABSTRACT
CONTEXT Improved biomarkers would facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). OBJECTIVE:
Our objective was to examine the levels of Nogo-A and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in children with ASD. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Serum concentrations of GFAP and Nogo-A were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS:
In this preliminary study, we found that serum Nogo-A was not found significantly different between groups, while serum levels of GFAP were significantly lower in ASD than controls. DISCUSSION ANDCONCLUSIONS:
It will be of great interest to determine other potential causes of elevated serum levels of GFAP, and whether this elevation has any phenotypic effect.Palavras-chave
