Our study demonstrated that serum TRX levels were associated with ASD, and elevated levels could be considered as a novel, independent diagnosis indicator of ASD.

These results indicated that autistic children had higher plasma levels of neopterin, and elevated plasma neopterin levels may be associated with severity of ASD among Chinese children.

Our results provide evidence that the ADAM33 S2 polymorphism is associated with increased susceptibility to pediatric asthma and that the CGG haplotype for the F+1, T1, and S2 polymorphisms is associated with an elevated risk of pediatric asthma in the Han population, whereas the CGC haplotype appears to confer a protective effect. Our results may prove useful for population-based screening to affect early intervention.
