New test methods diagnose autism

Researchers in the city of Melbourne have discovered a new test method to help diagnose vulnerable X chromosomal syndrome, the most common genetic cause of autism.

This syndrome, which affects about 70,000 Australians, is difficult to detect in women who can carry the gene but most do not show any symptoms.

According to Times, researchers at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute have discovered that an inexpensive blood test for DNA analysis can give accurate results as well as the severity of the millions. evidence that genetic genes can cause.

This new test allows diagnosis for babies at birth or as a child instead of waiting until symptoms appear at around 3 years of age.

Autism syndrome can lead to a variety of developmental, physical and behavioral disorders. This new discovery, published in Clinical Chemistry magazine, is the basis for monitoring children throughout the community, allowing early prevention of children with autism.
