Accordingly, 33.3% of ASD patients had an increased total protein and 16.7% an increased albumin ratio, which compares well to figures in similarly aged patients with schizophreniform psychosis (total protein increase in psychosis in 42.4%, increased AQs in 21.8%) [40] and to the previously reported proportion of neurological patients with a non-inflammatory disease of the CNS with isolated BBB dysfunction (17.5%) [45]. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and psychotic disorder.
