Perinatal Factors Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Jamaican Children.

ABSTRACT: Mode of delivery, preterm birth, and low birth weight (LBW) are hypothesized to be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the offspring. Using data from 343 ASD cases (2-8 years) and their age- and sex-matched typically developing controls in Jamaica we investigated these hypotheses. Our statistical analyses revealed that the parish of residence could modify the association between cesarean delivery and ASD, with a difference found in this relationship in Kingston parish [matched odds ratio (MOR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) 2.30 (1.17-4.53)] and other parishes [MOR (95% CI) 0.87 (0.48-1.59)]. Although the associations of LBW and preterm birth with ASD were not significant, we observed a significant interaction between LBW and the household socioeconomic status. These findings require replication.

Affymetrix CytoScan HD for autism spectrum disorder in children

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex heterogeneous developmental disease with a significant genetic background that is frequently caused by rare copy number variants (CNV). The aim of the study was to identify new candidate genes for ASD in the studied cohort of ASD-diagnosed patients. We used chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) - a Cytoscan HD (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA) to detect CNV in 87 ASD patients and their relatives and evaluated their clinical significance. Pathogenic and likely pathogenic mutations were identified by CMA in 8 and 9 ASD patients, respectively. CMA revealed 89 rare CNV: 8 pathogenic, 12 designated VOUS - likely pathogenic, 12 VOUS - uncertain, and 57 VOUS - likely benign or benign. CNV (pathogenic/VOUS-likely pathogenic/VOUS - uncertain) overlapping the same gene in more than one patient were observed in DOCK8 gene and PARK2 gene. This work presents new evidence about the possible roles of PARK2 and DOCK8 in the etiology of ASD, and suggests CTNNA2 as a candidate gene for ASD risk.

Proteomics Analysis of Saliva from Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Project description:In the current work, saliva samples were collected from children with different degrees of ASD and healthy children and proteomics approaches were applied to generate data on differentially expressed proteins between groups which will serve as a basis for future validation studies as protein markers.
