A Salivary miRNA Diagnostic Test for Autism
Validation of a Salivary miRNA Diagnostic Test for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
The central aim of this project is to validate a panel of expressed microRNA (miRNA) in the saliva of children identified at risk for developing ASD by the MCHAT-R. Further, this study aims to assess the value of the current panel as an adjunctive test that may increase specificity of MCHAT-R positive results, or affirm clinical diagnoses alongside the ADOS or other objective assessments.
The primary endpoints of this study are as follows:
- Evaluate the diagnostic ability (sensitivity and specificity) of the current a salivary microtranscriptome panel for distinguishing children with ASD from their non-ASD peers.
- Assess stability of the salivary microtranscriptome diagnosis over time, and interrogate longitudinal microtranscriptome levels relative to neuropsychological measures.
Secondary endpoints are the identification of microtranscriptome features whose concentrations correlate with ASD endophenotypes.
