Is Deficiency of 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D A Risk Factor for Autism? A Preliminary Study
Objective: To investigate the status of 25-hydroxy-vitamin-D [25-(OH)-D] in autistic children and to correlate with their mothers vitamin statuses and autism severity.Methods: In this case-control study, serum 25(OH)-D was measured in autistic children and controls (n=36 each) and in mothers of autistics and control mothers (n=24 each). Comparison and correlation studies were performed.Results: Both autistic children and their mothers have lower 25-(OH)-D compared to their controls with significant differences (P<0.001 for children and P=0.025 for mothers). Vitamin statuses in both autistic children and their mothers showed moderate to strong positive correlation (P<0.001). Moreover, the 25-OH-D showed inverse correlation with the autism severity (P=0.0026).Conclusion: Deficiency of 25(OH)-D is common in autistic children and related to the severity of symptoms. Vitamin D deficiency in children might be maternal-dependent. Deficiency of 25(OH)-D in autistic children and their mothers could be the primary predisposing factor for autism. This may find a common link among the genetic, immunological, anatomical, biochemical and physiological factors putting the puzzles together. Early supplementation of vitamin D could improve autistic manifestations.
