Title
The relationship between mercury and autism in children: a meta-analysis
Review Question
Is there a relationship between mercury and autism in children?
Study Type Included
Case-control studies and, if possible, cohort studies.
Condition Being Studied
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is defined by deficits in social communication and social interaction, and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. It is considered that the total fraction of ASD attributable to genetic inheritance may only be 30-40% and it has complex inheritance factors and genetic heterogeneity. However, a consensus is growing that non-genetic factors have a significant role in the etiology of ASD. In addition, many brain pathology studies indicate significant and ongoing neuroinflammation with concomitant neuronal damage in the disease. Various xenobiotics have been suggested as causal agents in the pathology of ASD. Five industrial chemicals are identified as developmental neurotoxicants based on epidemiological evidence: lead, methyl-mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene.
Participant
Patients (<19 years) suffering from ASD as cases, and healthy subjects (<19 years) as the control group.
Animal
Human Disease Modelled
Intervention
Level of mercury in the blood, hair, nails, and other possible tissues was compared between the case and the control group.
Comparator Control
The control group are healthy subjects (without ASD). The level of mercury in the blood, hair, nails, and other possible tissues was compared between the control group and patients with ASD.
Main Outcome
Autism spectrum disorders.
Outcome Measure
Additional Outcome
Other neural diseases, if possible.
Study Method
Epidemiologic, Meta-analysis, Systematic review
