Hair Analysis Helps Autism Diagnosis
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/nTOVVYNmKJM
Strands of hair can provide a linear record of a child’s exposures to a variety of environment chemicals. LinusBio is a New York City Mt. Sinai Hospital spinoff that has developed a process to do just that using mass spectrometry techniques. Company investigators in collaboration with hospital pediatricians and psychologists report the use of this technology and a derived algorithm for prospective studies of 486 children followed from age 1 to 4 years. While the LinusBio system is only an adjunct to diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder, it did predict that diagnosis with an 81% accuracy 96% sensitivity and 75% specificity. An excellent beginning.
