Essential element and toxic metal dyshomeostasis in childhood autism spectrum disorder: a comprehensive narrative review of correlations, tissue-specific distribution, and multifactorial regulation

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social communication and repetitive stereotyped behaviors, with a rising global prevalence. Its etiology involves genetic, environmental, and epigenetic interactions, among which essential elements [including trace elements such a...

Association between prenatal trace element and toxic metal exposures and autism spectrum disorder symptoms in children: Potential mediating role of cord serum metabolites.

Findings indicate element- and age-specific patterns rather than a uniform direction of association, while the indirect associations involving cord serum metabolites require confirmation in independent studies.

Erythrocyte magnesium concentrations and NIPA1/NIPA2 gene expression in children with autism spectrum disorder

While genetic and environmental factors are involved in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the role of magnesium (Mg 2+ ) homeostasis remains a burgeoning field of interest. This cross-sectional study analyzed the association between erythrocyte Mg 2+ concentrations, clinical characteristics, and the expression of...
