SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO PREDICT AUTISM BEFORE ONSET OF BEHAVIORAL SYMPTOMS AND/OR TO DIAGNOSE AUTISM

摘要

Systems and methods to predict or diagnose autism are described. Using markers, the systems and methods can predict or diagnose autism based on significant differences in methylation of cytosine bases in many loci throughout the genome. Therapeutic interventions can then be initiated at an earlier time in development, decreasing severity of the disorder.
