  1. Fisher’s exact test (two sided) was used to evaluate the association of the patterns with ASD diagnosis and p values >0.05 were bolded and considered significant. The training set was composed of 375 samples (ASD = 206, TD = 169) and the validation set was composed of 418 samples (ASD = 244, TD = 174).
  2. ASD autism spectrum disorders, TD typically developing, CRMP1 and CRMP2 collapsin response mediator proteins 1 and 2, GDA guanine deaminase, NSE neuron-specific enolase, LDHA-B lactate dehydrogenase A and B, STIP1 stress-induced phosphoprotein 1, and YBOX Y-box binding protein 1.
