TL;DR: It is suggested that longer triplet repeats in the 5′UTR of the RELN gene confer vulnerability to autistic disorder.

TL;DR: Evaluation of effect of gluten and casein-free diet for children with autistic syndromes and urinary peptide abnormalities found that the development for the group of children on diet was significantly better than for the controls.

TL;DR: The results suggest that dietary intervention may positively affect developmental outcome for some children diagnosed with ASD and is unable to disqualify potential effects derived from intervention outside of dietary changes.

TL;DR: Excessive Ca2+ levels are responsible for boosting AGC activity, mitochondrial metabolism and, to a more variable degree, oxidative stress in autistic brains, and their modulation could provide new preventive and therapeutic strategies.

TL;DR: Assessing linkage/association between autism and variants of the paraoxonase gene (PON1) encoding paraox onase provides further support for the hypothesis that concurrent genetic vulnerability and environmental OP exposure may possibly contribute to autism pathogenesis in a sizable subgroup of North American individuals.
