The other study on autism in children found that the group with a pervasive developmental disorder – not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), but not the group with classic autism, had higher BPA levels than controls, carbonyl levels were significantly higher in the combined group with both classical autism and PDD-NOS than controls, and selenium levels and GPx1, SOD, and GR activities were higher and CAT activity was lower in the autistic group compared with controls [18]. The gene discussed is SOD1; the disease is autism.
