ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods of identifying biomarkers indicative of the presence of a neurodevelopmental disorder, including an autism spectrum disorder, in an individual, using cytometry and mass spectrometry. The invention further provides methods of using the identified biomarkers to diagnose the presence of a neurodevelopmental disorder, including an autism spectrum disorder.
