They are wanting to examine the role of vitamin B12 in autism. Dr Michelle Adams says the study will focus on whether autistic children have different types of genes involved in the metabolism of the vitamin. They hope to discover whether autistic children are unable to use certain forms of vitamin B12 and if they use certain forms of this vitamin B12, does it affect their neurological development. If successful, the study could lead to using a dietary intervention to help either prevent the onset of autism of perhaps reduce the symptoms of autism. At this time more volunteers are needed before the research can begin. If you are in the Newcastle region contact Dr Michelle Adams at the University.
