Urine test for autism may be on the horizon

Researchers may be able to develop a noninvasive urine test for autism after finding that the urine of children with autism has a different metabolic composition from those who are not diagnosed with the disorder, according to recent study data.
Researchers from the Imperial College London and the University of South Australia collected urine samples of children with autism, their siblings and those who did not have the disorder aged 3 to 9 years from the Australian site. The researchers then compared the specimens with those gathered from a group of controls, recruited from the Swiss Tropical Institute in Basel. Study participants included 39 children with autism, 28 siblings and 34 controls.
Results indicated that children with autism showed subtle differences in urinary succinate, N-methyl nicotinic acid and N-methylnicotinamide when compared with controls. Projection latent structure discriminant analysis with UV-scaled spectral data also suggested clear disparities between children with autism and the controls and some differences between those with autism and their siblings.
