看见篇NEWS,是自闭症和免疫方面的,你瞧瞧。
A new study has reported that a large number of children with autism may have an elevated level of interleukin-17A. This isn't a new result but it is interesting because this time there appears to be an association between the level of IL-17A and the severity of autism - the more severe the case, the higher the level of IL-17A.
If you are interested in the subject I suggest you read the (open access) paper. It has some good background material about other immune system abnormalities that have been found in autism.
The one thing that I would like to point out is that this elevated level of IL-17A was seen in almost half of even a moderate sized group children with autism - 22 out of 45. Compare that size and number to what passes for significance on the genetics side of autism research where finding 3 or four children with similar mutations out of a group of thousands is considered significant.
