Correlations between EEG abnormalities and clinical phenotypes in a population of children with autism spectrum disorder / Mario BRINCIOTTI ; Federica GIOVANNONE ; Francesco PISANI ; Marco TOFANI ; Carla SOGOS in Research in Autism, 123 (May 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 123 (May 2025) . - 202536 Titre : Correlations between EEG abnormalities and clinical phenotypes in a population of children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mario BRINCIOTTI, Auteur ; Federica GIOVANNONE, Auteur ; Francesco PISANI, Auteur ; Marco TOFANI, Auteur ; Carla SOGOS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202536 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  EEG  Sex differences  EEG abnormalities  Mirror neurons system Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose EEG abnormalities (EA) have recently been proposed as a way to understand the pathophysiology of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The present study aims to determine whether there are peculiar correlations between EA in autistic patients and clinical phenotypes. Method We collected information about patient's past medical and developmental history and investigated clinical phenotypes using the observation and standardized instruments in a cohort of 111 outpatients with ASD or at risk for ASD. Then we proceeded to investigate the association between EA and phenotypic characteristics. Results In our cohort we found a significant frequency (90%) of moderate/severe autism spectrum symptoms (corroborated by results from standardized tests, such as ADOS-2). Epileptiform EA detected in our sample were mainly focal, with a predominantly left fronto-central temporal region localization. Generalized or widespread epileptiform EA during sleep EEG was significantly correlated with non-verbal profile, greater impairment in terms of social interaction, and higher ADI-R scores in the communication and language scale. Conclusion In the current study, the presence of widespread epileptiform EA correlates with a more severe clinical presentation, in particular with a non-verbal profile and impairment in social interaction. The prevalent detection of focal EEA in the left fronto-central temporal region could demonstrate the hypothesis of dysfunction of the mirror neuron system and Wernicke?s area. However, it is necessary to understand if EA may be considered an epiphenomenon of the underlying neural dysfunction or whether there is a causal relationship with the autism phenotypes.

The teleNIDA: Early Screening of Autism Spectrum Disorder Through a Novel Telehealth Approach / Valentina RIVA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 54-5 (May 2024)

Store-and-forward telehealth approaches offer the opportunity to facilitate timely screening of ASD, allowing parents to record videos of their child?s behaviors, subsequently shared with clinicians that provide an assessment remotely. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of a new telehealth screening tool, the teleNIDA, administered in home settings for remote observation of early signs of ASD in toddlers aged 18-30 months. Results showed good psychometric properties of the teleNIDA, as compared to the gold standard in-person assessment, and the predictive validity on the diagnosis of ASD at 36 months was demonstrated. This study supports the teleNIDA as a promising level 2 screening tool for ASD able to speed up diagnostic and intervention processes.
