A Mother’s Blood May Carry the Secret to One Type of Autism

Maternal autoantibody–related autism spectrum disorder (MAR ASD) is marked by specific maternal antibodies that react to certain proteins in the fetal brain. Examining the plasma of expecting mothers, researchers found mothers with reactivity to one of the nine MAR ASD patterns were eight times as likely to have a child diagnosed with autism.

Promising Alzheimer’s Marker in Blood Prompts Warning About Brain-Boosting Supplements

Elevated levels of PHGDH in the blood could signal the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers caution older adults against using "brain-boosting" supplements that contain serine due to its link to PHGDH. As PHGDH is a key enzyme in serine production, elevated PHGDH levels results in increased serine levels in the brain.

New Blood Biomarker for Predicting Dementia Before Symptoms Develop

Measuring blood levels of P-tau181 may allow doctors to diagnose Alzheimer's before the onset of symptoms. Elevated levels of P-tau181 in the blood were associated with greater amyloid beta accumulation in the brain and outperformed two other biomarkers in predicting signs of amyloid beta in brain scans.

Genetic Link Between Routine Blood Test Results and Mental Health Disorders Discovered

Researchers identified a genetic correlation between blood biomarkers and a range of mental health disorders. The study provides evidence some substance measures within the blood may be involved in the cause of mental illnesses. For example, immune system proteins may be involved in the development of depression, schizophrenia, and anorexia.

Signs of Dementia Are Written in the Blood

Researchers identified 33 metabolic compounds in blood samples that differed between those with dementia and cognitively healthy older adults. 7 of the metabolites were elevated in dementia patients, while 26 were at lower levels compared to samples of those without dementia. Elevating levels of those metabolites could have a neuroprotective effect against dementia.

Machine Learning Approach for Predicting Risk of Schizophrenia Using a Blood Test

Blood tests revealed specific epigenetic biomarkers for schizophrenia. Researchers applied machine learning to analyze the CoRSIVs region of the human genome to identify the schizophrenia biomarkers. Testing the model with an independent data set revealed the AI technology can detect schizophrenia with 80% accuracy.
