Diagnosing Autism with a Single Strand of Hair
Manage episode 366136087 series 60790
Our interactions with the environment can have unexpected effects on our genes and trigger a biologic response that leads to the onset of disease. These interactions can also leave a measurable record in what’s referred to as the exposome. LinusBio, which emerged from the exposome laboratory at Mount Sinai Health System, has developed a test for autism that relies on analyzing a single strand of hair. The company said the test is capable of diagnosing autism at birth. We spoke to Manish Arora, founder and CEO of LinusBio, about the exposome, how the company’s test for autism works, and how this opens the potential for early interventions.
