In this recent paper published in Sage Journals, researchers share an exciting discovery in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) research. They identified a unique 4.5-Hz EEG rhythm in the parieto-temporal region of children with ASD who carry specific methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene variants—C677T and A1298C.
These findings highlight the potential of EEG as a non-invasive biomarker to detect genetic risk factors for ASD, with promising accuracy. By combining EEG technology and genetic insights, this breakthrough could pave the way for earlier diagnosis and more personalized care approaches for individuals with ASD.
