In addition, no group differences were seen for GFAP negative glia (autism = 24.01 × 105 ± 12.42 × 104, control = 23.34 × 105 ± 13.28 × 104 (mean ± SEM); p = 0.376, Fig. 1b), or total glia (autism = 24.02 × 104 ± 12.15 × 104, control = 23.52 × 104 ± 12.99 × 104 (mean ± SEM); p = 0.415, Fig. 1c). Here, GFAP is linked to autism.
