Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder, the responsible factors that increase the risk of this disorder exert their effects already during the prenatal period. Dermatoglyphs (formations that are formed by a unique arrangement of papillary lines – fingerprints are most often described) and their asymmetry are a reflection of developmental instability / instability during embryogenesis. Developmental
The mechanical properties of the erythrocyte membrane are very important clinical indicators. Deformability is the ability of erythrocytes to pass through thin capillaries without damage. Its disorder can lead to the pathogenesis of several diseases, including ASD. More Examination of erythrocyte deformability in relation to the clinical manifestations of autism in children. In this study,
The pathomechanisms of ASD have not yet been elucidated; metabolic disorders may play a role. Thanks to innovative methods such as the mass spectrometry and the statistical possibilities of large-scale data analysis, the metabolomics method is finding an increasingly widespread application in current medical research. Metabolomics involves the determination of the concentration of endogenous molecules
