Correlation of Gut Microbiome Between ASD Children and Mothers and Potential Biomarkers for Risk Assessment
2019, Genomics, Proteomics and BioinformaticsCitation Excerpt :Although the causes of ASD are not yet known, it is generally believed that genetic, epigenetic, and environmental risk factors interact and all play roles in the development of ASD [11,12]. Epidemiological and animal-based studies have suggested that inflammation-induced maternal immune activation, prenatal exposure to immune challenges, and maternal obesity, stress, and gastrointestinal symptoms during pregnancy play roles in perinatal neurodevelopmental brain damage and contribute to an increased risk of subsequent neuropsychiatric disorders, such as ASDs [13–17]. In recent years, there has been a lot of epidemiological and biological evidence that prenatal factors trigger a more active immune state in the mother, which is associated with the development of autism [9,13–16,18–20].
