Autism and Metabolic Cytopathy

چکیده
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Autism is a wide spectrum disorder and a lot of factors play role in the etiology. Autism may accompany some genetic disorders such as fragile X, tuberosclerosis, neurofibromatosis and phenylketonuria [1]. However, the absence of sufficient evidence on the etiological roles of environmental, neuroanatomical and biochemical factors has shifted the direction of research to genetics and cytology [2].

Autistic spectrum disorders and mitochondrial encephalopathies.
Autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) are common neurobehavioral syndromes characterized by deficits in social interactions, impaired communication skills and repetitive stereotypic behaviours expressed by 3 years of age (1). Recent studies of these disorders indicate a strong genetic component but specific aetiologies and pathogeneses are usually unknown (1–3). Concordance for ASD is 90% in identi...

متن کاملHistopathology of mitochondrial cytopathy and the Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome.
Clinical and histopathological studies of two patients with distinctly different inherited juvenile retinal dystrophies indicate that the ocular defect in mitochondrial cytopathy involves the underlying pigment epithelium, whereas in the Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome the photoreceptor cells are primarily affected.
متن کاملIntegrated Quantum Therapy in an Epileptic Child after 13 Years of Inherited Real Risk of Epilepsy in Evolution: A Case Study
The comprehension of the pathogenesis of epilepsy finds a new impulse in studies on non-linear dynamics of EEG signals and in the growing genetic molecular evidence of the mitochondrial origin of this disease. These data are consistent with the information known by Quantum Biophysical Semeiotics that clinically investigates microcirculation both on a functional (i.e. by studying its non-linear ...
متن کاملPathological similarities between low birth weight-related nephropathy and nephropathy associated with mitochondrial cytopathy
BACKGROUND Individuals born with a low birth weight (LBW) have a higher risk of developing kidney dysfunction during their lifetime and sometimes exhibit focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) lesions in their glomeruli. We herein try to obtain other pathological characteristics of LBW-related nephropathy. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the renal pathology of four patients demonstrat...
