From: Estimation of autistic children by metallomics analysis
Metallome profile of an autistic child with high aluminium and manganese burdens.
Another typical metallome profile of 2-year-old boy diagnosed with autism is shown, exhibiting simultaneous high burdens with aluminium (55.9 ppm), manganese (926 ppb) and cadmium (44 ppb). Each bar represents the relative concentration of the respective trace element in his scalp hair specimen. The dotted horizontal line at 1.0 represents the reference control level of each trace element.
