A study of 40 individuals (ages 5-31) with autism investigated immune deficiency. Results found the subjects had significantly lower serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels than that of age- and sex-matched controls. Seventeen subjects had one of three haplotypes associated with IgA deficiency and seven of these had decreased IgA levels. (CR)
