Press Releases on CUHK identifies novel gut microbiome biomarkers to facilitate diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders Pilot clinical study shows modulation of gut microbiome alleviates anxiety symptoms
A research team from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)’s Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine) has conducted a large cohort study among 1,627 children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and found alterations in four kingdoms of the gut microbial species including archaea, bacteria, fungi and viruses in children with ASD. Using machine learning, they developed a panel of 31 multikingdom and functional markers that showed high diagnostic performance for ASD and has great potential as a clinical diagnostic tool. The findings were published in Nature Microbiology. In a pilot study, the researchers also showed that modulation of the gut microbiome alleviated symptoms of anxiety in children with ASD, introducing the possibility of a new therapeutic paradigm for the condition
