Blood lipid levels may change in some people with autism

1 Dec 1399
About 7% of people with autism in the United States have abnormal levels of lipids in their blood, a compound called lipids, according to a study published in Nature Medicine.
Previous studies have shown an association between this metabolic condition called dyslipidemia and autism in people with rare genetic conditions.
"This is the first in-depth, multidimensional analysis that makes a broader connection to autism," said Yuan Lu, an associate professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois.
This study uses a comprehensive approach, including health care, electronic health records, family gene sequences, and an atlas of growth gene patterns.
"Studies show that parents with a history of hyperlipidemia are up to 16 percent more likely to have it," says Lou
Having children with autism is a result that researchers hope to study further in future studies.
"However, it is not yet clear how fats affect the human brain," says Professor Michael Schneider.
More research into lipid-level manipulation - by destroying dyslipidemia-related genes in mice or using medication - may provide a clearer understanding of this.
