The distribution of blocking and binding FRα autoantibodies in 29 children and their parents.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Among 29 autistic children, whose parents have also been tested, 20 had blocking FRα antibodies associated with binding FRα antibodies in only 5 children. Values in parenthesis (mean ± SE: 0.62 ± 0.63) refer to blocking FRα antibody titers in pmoles FRα blocked/ml serum. In 1 child, only FRα antibodies of the binding type were found. |
