Currently, many studies show the effectiveness of elimination (gluten-free and case-free) diets in correcting not only the symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders in patients with autism but also in correcting behavioral indicators. The results of the inclusion of gluten and case free diets were analyzed in the complex of therapeutic measures in a child with autism spectrum disorders. The ...

Autism is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that characterized by abnormal bilateral social interaction, deficiency in verbal and nonverbal communication, restricted interests and repetitive behaviors .autism caused by the inappropriate immune response which released several cytokines. One of the most important and main causes of autism is a defect in, the formation of the neuronal synaptic ...

introduction reelin gene (reln) codes a large extracellular matrix glycoprotein with serine protease activity and is implicated in the modulation of neuronal signaling, synaptic transmission and plasticity. the reelin plays a fundamental and pivotal role in the development of laminar structures and may be one of the loci contributing to the positive linkage between chromosome 7q and autistic di...

background: despite many efforts, the etiology of autism remains unknown. food allergy has been suggested as a pathogenic factor in autism spectrum disorder (asd). our aim in this study was to determine whether food allergy could be considered as a risk factor for autistic children. methods: thirty-nine autistic children were examined by the skin prick test (spt), and total serum ige was evalua...

conclusions our findings highlighted the importance of ei and its aspects in asds in the university students recruited in the present study. therefore, improvement in ei and its dimensions can decrease autism symptoms and signs in individuals with asds. overall, the result of this study emphasizes the key role of ei as a plausible health predictor. background autism spectrum traits may present ...

Autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) such as Rett syndrome and Asperger syndromeare enigmatic and complex neurodevelopmental disorders, thought to have originated inparticular interactions of genetic and environmental factors. Despite the extensive research,exact mechanism of pathogenesis is not still completely understood. ASDs are characterizedby deficits and abnormalities in communica...

Background: It is believed that environmental and genetic factors may be responsible for autism. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and its gene polymorphisms have been shown to be implicated as risk factors in autism. Objectives: To analyze MTHFR C677T polymorphism (rs1801133) in autistic patients. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in 2014 and 2015 in northern Ir...
