Exploring the Association Between Human Blood Metabolites and Autism Spectrum Disorder Risk: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study

Our findings indicate that the dodecenedioate, methionine sulfone, cysteine to alanine ratio and proline to glutamate ratio have an impact on ASD. These results enhance our understanding of the metabolic pathways involved in ASD and could lead to new avenues for intervention and prevention. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms underlying these associations and confirm these findings in different populations.
