This study examines the cases of nine

pediatric patients with neurodevelopmental disorders who presented

to the Genetic Centers of America from June 2005 through

February 2006 for outpatient genetic/developmental evaluations.

CONCLUSION

Eight of nine children examined in this study (a) had regressive

autistic disorders, ( had elevated levels of androgens, ©

excreted significant amounts of mercury post chelation challenge,

(d) had biochemical evidence of decreased function in

their glutathione pathways, (e) had no known significant mercury

exposure except from Thimerosal in their vaccines/

Rho(D)-immune globulin preparations, and (f) had extensive

alternate causes for their regressive ASDs ruled out.

It is clear from these data, and other emerging data that have

been recently published, that additional autistic disorder

research should be undertaken in the context of evaluating

mercury-associated exposures, especially from Thimerosalcontaining

vaccines. Additionally, studies should also be

undertaken to evaluate other databases/registries of patients to

assess the compatibility of the present results with clinical

observations for other children with autistic disorders. In light

of the results of this present case series examining mercury

exposure and its consistency with previous controlled studies

of autistic children, the mercury factor should be considered in

the differential diagnosis factors of regressive autistic disorders

in children.
