The breakthrough in the diagnosis of autism - only one blood test!

A simple blood test may help diagnose autism in children due to the opening yearling scientists from the University of San Diego. They identified a "genetic signature" disorders, which will allow to begin treatment at an early stage.

Although effective methods treatment of autism   There is no developed psychological adaptation programs like children sometimes give very good results. It is important to realize as early as possible "special needs" child with an autism spectrum disorder, and build the right relationship with him. All sorts of group and individual sessions with psychologists to help children with autism to overcome many difficulties of communication and socialization.

That is why it is important early Diagnosis of autism And why scientists are trying hard to develop its methods. Specialists of San Diego led by professor Erik Kurchesne failed to define "genetic signature" of autism disorders. This was the end result of six years of research by Professor Kurchesne, which is one of the leading world experts on neurobiology of autism, as well as its partner for the Dr. Tiziano Pramparo.

The researchers scanned the brains and do blood tests more than 600 children aged 1 to 4. For the first time identified several gene relationships that are formed during the development of autism. Scientists emphasize that before their colleagues are constantly looking for any single genes, is a sign of autism, but they were able to identify the entire chain, and to determine the impact of the growth of the brain.

Already during the second trimester of pregnancy these chains break cell production in the brain of a child. Moreover, problems arise if too much, and too small amounts of these chains. (READ MORE)
