Prenatal Vitamins Can Lower Risk Of Autism?
The UC Davis MIND Institute Researchers conducted their study over 700 families with children (2-5-yr-old) suffering from the developmental disorder. One of the surprising results that came up during the research was that the vitamins taken before or during the first month of pregnancy did affect while the second month and so on made no difference suggesting that the vitamins need to be only during the pre of the prenatal phase.
The cure for the genetic disorder actually came in because a strong correlation link between the two gene mutations strongly determines the Autism risk. Two genes
methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, and the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene are linked to the child disorder. Women, who consumed MTHFR and COMT variants were more than 4 times less likely to have a child with autism than women without them.
With this, the medical community is hoping for more inexpensive ways like these that can help in reasonable reducing the risk of Autism.
