Metabolic biomarkers of increased oxidative stress and impaired methylation capacity in children with autism

TL;DR: An increased vulnerability to oxidative stress and a decreased capacity for methylation may contribute to the development and clinical manifestation of autism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormal folate metabolism and mutation in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene may be maternal risk factors for Down syndrome

TL;DR: In this paper, the C-to-T substitution at nucleotide 677 (677C→T) mutation of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene may be a risk factor for maternal meiotic nondisjunction and Down syndrome in young mothers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic Imbalance Associated with Methylation Dysregulation and Oxidative Damage in Children with Autism

TL;DR: The data indicate that the deficit in antioxidant and methylation capacity is specific for autism and may promote cellular damage and altered epigenetic gene expression, and suggest a plausible mechanism by which pro-oxidant environmental stressors may modulate genetic predisposition to autism.
