摘 要:Background Autism spectrum disorder(ASD)is a complex group of neurodevelopmental *** has highlighted a close association between the retinoic acid(RA)signaling pathway and *** study investigates alterations in the vitamin A(VA,retinol)to RA metabolic pathway in children with ASD and speculates on the underlying reasons for these *** propose a subtype characterized by downregulated RA signaling in ASD,laying the groundwork for precise diagnosis and treatment *** We included 489 children with ASD and 280 typically developing(TD)*** with ASD underwent evaluations of core symptoms and neuro-developmental levels,which were conducted by professional developmental behavior physicians using assessment *** VA and all-trans RA(atRA)levels were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass *** expression levels and concentrations of enzyme molecules such as retinol dehydrogenase 10 were assessed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent *** Children with ASD exhibited reduced serum atRA,accompanied by a downregulation of atRA synthesis *** reduction in serum atRA levels was linked not only to VA levels but also to the aberrant expression of metabolic enzymes responsible for ***,the serum atRA levels in children with ASD were more strongly correlated with core symptoms and neurodevelopmental levels than VA *** Children with ASD exhibited a dual regulation of reduced serum atRA levels,influenced by both VA levels and abnormal expression of atRA metabolic enzymes.
