  1. Fisher’s exact (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 italic values represent significant combinations that are not 100% ASD-specific, but are statistically significant and have a strong correlation with the ASD group.
  2. a A 0.5 continuity correction was applied to OR calculations for observations with zero cell counts. The correction was applied to all OR calculations in this table, except the last two patterns (STIP1+YBOX and CRMP1+STIP1).
  3. ASD autism spectrum disorders, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, 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.
