Low Plasma Levels of Contactin-Associated Protein-Like 2 in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Links to Neural Development
The low CNTNAP2 plasma level in children with ASD indicated that it might be involved in the pathophysiology of ASD. Nevertheless, these results should be interpreted with care till more studies are achieved using a larger population to decide whether the reduction in CNTNAP2 plasma level is a mere outcome of ASD or it plays a pathogenic role in the disease.
