Establishing a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Index in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Fragile X Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to accumulate and quantitatively analyze data on the microbiome, serotonin signaling and genetics, and inflammatory cytokines from patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Fragile X Syndrome. Computational analysis of multi-dimensional datasets will be used to establish a "Diagnostic and Therapeutic Index" - an objective set of tools that can help differentiate subtypes of Autism Spectrum Disorder and develop more accurate methods of diagnosis and response to treatment.
