Low maternal progesterone may contribute to both obstetrical complications and autism
2014, Medical HypothesesCitation Excerpt :Together, the findings of an increased use of fertility treatments and an absence of hormonal birth control treatments suggest low progesterone in the maternal environment. An increased incidence of vaginal bleeding and autism has been reported previously [8,9,12,19] and our results are consistent with those. There are a number of causes of bleeding during pregnancy, but in our sample, when bleeding was in the second or third trimester, placental abnormalities (such as previa or abruption) or early labor are most likely.
Prenatal, perinatal and neonatal risk factors of Autism Spectrum Disorder: A comprehensive epidemiological assessment from India
2013, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :Hence, it is imperative to focus of prenatal, perinatal events as risk factors for ASD. There has been a huge focus on pre- and perinatal events as risk factors in various studies across the globe, wherein disruptions and disorders of pregnancy, labor complications, fetal distress, low birth weight and premature birth have been studied and implicated in ASD (Bilder, Pinborough-Zimmerman, Miller, & McMahon, 2009; Bolton et al., 1997; Bryson, Smith, & Eastwood, 1988; Buchmayer et al., 2009; Burd, Severud, Kerbeshian, & Klug, 1999; Burstyn, Sithole, & Zwaigenbaum, 2010; Cryan, Byrne, O‘Donovan, & O‘Callaghan, 1996; Deb et al., 1997; Deykin & MacMahon, 1980; Dodds et al., 2011; Dubovický, 2010; El-Baz et al., 2011; Finegan & Quarrington, 1979; Gardener et al., 2011; Ghaziuddin, Shakal, & Tsai, 1995; Gillberg & Gillberg, 1983; Glasson et al., 2004; Guinchat et al., 2012; Hultman, Sparén, & Cnattingius, 2002; Johnson et al., 2010; Juul-Dam, Townsend, & Courchesne, 2001; Kinney, Munir, Crowley, & Miller, 2008; Kolevzon, Gross, & Reichenberg, 2007; Kröger et al., 2011; Kuban et al., 2009; Larsson et al., 2005; Lord, Mulloy, Wendelboe, & Schopler, 1991; Losh, Esserman, Anckarsäter, Sullivan, & Lichtenstein, 2012; Maimburg & Vaeth, 2006; Mason-brothers et al., 1987; Nelson, 1991; Ornitz, 1985; Piven et al., 1993; Schendel & Bhasin, 2008; Stein, Weizman, Ring, & Barak, 2006; Wallace, Anderson, & Dubrow, 2008; Zambrino, Balottin, Bettaglio, Gerardo, & Lanzi, 1995; Zwaigenbaum et al., 2002). Despite several studies being conducted worldwide to analyze the risk factors of ASD, the results are not conclusive.
Review of gender differences in core symptomatology in autism spectrum disorders
2011, Research in Autism Spectrum DisordersCitation Excerpt :Gender differences in pre-, peri-, and post-natal complications in individuals with ASD have been examined. Several researchers have found no significant gender differences in pre-, peri-, and post-natal complications in individuals with ASD (Gillberg & Gillberg, 1983; Mason-Brothers, Ritvo, Guze, & Mo, 1987; Zwaigenbaum et al., 2002). However, results are complicated by the small number of females and the presence of ID (Lord et al., 1991).
Autism and immune factors: A comprehensive review
2009, Research in Autism Spectrum DisordersAutism and head circumference in the first year of life
2004, Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Our study was unable to replicate the finding of Courchesne et al (2003) that children with autism have a significantly smaller head circumference at birth. Our findings are thus consistent with three other studies that have reported normal head circumferences in autistic children at birth (Courchesne et al 2001; Mason-Brothers et al 1987, 1990) and one that reported normal head circumference at birth but macrocephaly later in childhood (Lainhart et al 1997). Our study did find a nonsignificant larger head circumference in the autistic children at 4 months of life, however, as well as a significantly larger body weight and length compared with control subjects.
