Synopsis

This study aims to explore the correlation between brain neuro metabolites and clinical symptom scales in GDD and GDD+ASD. 11 children with GDD and 12 GDD +ASD children took MR scans, and completed the GABA and Glx spectroscopic acquisition. Results indicated that there is a significant difference in DQ language levels between GDD and GDD+ASD, and the GABA/Cr levels were significantly decreased in GDD+ASD compared with GDD. A positive correlation was observed between Glx/Cr and ADOS stereotype among all participants, and a clear link was observed between Glx/Cr and the sensory symptoms of ASD at both behavioral and perceptual levels.
