Study of blood test for Autism risk begins

A study is now underway to determine if a blood test can be useful in the early detection of Autism risk.  The hope is that a quick blood test that detects differences in the expression of 55 genes known to be associated with Autism can prompt earlier interventions to minimize the impairments that result.  The research is being funded by SynapDx, the company that now holds the intellectual property rights to the test which was developed in earlier research.  Read more about it at foxnews.com here:
