HEALTH BLOG, Canberra - Australian researchers found a genetic test to predict autism disorders in children. The study, reported in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, Wednesday, September 12, 2012 is expected to help health professionals to handle these early developmental disorders.
"This test can be an early warning system to detect the condition of infants and children. Tests also help your doctor to reduce the difficulty of autistic cognition and behavior from an early age," said lead researcher Stan Skafidas.
The team of researchers led by the University of Melbourne examined data from 3,000 individuals with autism the United States. They identified 237 genetic markers in 146 genes and cell lines.
The results showed marker-marker has a tendency to contribute to or protect individuals from autism. The higher the risk score, meaning the invidu has great potential as autistic. Conversely, if the score is higher protective marker, then the individual can be free from the interference of growth.
Based on research, the accuracy of the test was 70 percent for individuals of European descent. As for the other races were in the study.
About 1 out of 150 children in the world bears the symptoms of autism include awkwardness in social relationships, communication difficulties, and cognitive disabilities.
