The scaled subprofile model of principal component analysis (SSM-PCA) is a data-driven multivariate technique for capturing stable disease-related spatial covariance pattern. Here, SSM-PCA is innovatively applied to obtain robust ASD-related gray matter volume pattern associated with clinical symptoms. We utilized T1-weighted structural MRI images (sMRI) of 576 subjects (288 ASDs and 288 typically developing (TD) controls) aged 7?29?years from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange II (ABIDE II) dataset. These images were analyzed with SSM-PCA to identify the ASD-related spatial covariance pattern. Subsequently, we investigated the relationship between the pattern and clinical symptoms and verified its robustness. Then, the applicability of the pattern under different age stages were further explored. The results revealed that the ASD-related pattern primarily involves the thalamus, putamen, parahippocampus, orbitofrontal cortex, and cerebellum. The expression of this pattern correlated with Social Response Scale and Social Communication Questionnaire scores. Moreover, the ASD-related pattern was robust for the ABIDE I dataset. Regarding the applicability of the pattern for different age stages, the effect sizes of its expression in ASD were medium in the children and adults, while small in adolescents. This study identified a robust ASD-related pattern based on gray matter volume that is associated with social deficits. Our findings provide new insights into the neuroanatomical mechanisms of ASD and may facilitate its future intervention.

Validity and Cutoff Score of the Autism Mental Status Exam for an Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis in Chinese Children / Dong HAN ; Huizhi ZHOU ; Chen YANG ; Kun ZHANG ; Shi CHEN ; Runxu YANG ; Xia CAO ; David GRODBERG ; Xudong ZHAO ; Chuanyuan KANG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-12 (December 2023)

This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the AMSE in a sample of high-risk Chinese children, and to determine the optimal cutoff score of the Chinese version of the AMSE in supporting ASD diagnosis. 66 young children aged from 2 to 11 years with suspected ASD were enrolled in the present study. A diagnosis of ASD or non-ASD was determined by a Best Estimate Diagnosis protocol according to the DSM-5 criteria. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to assess the validity of the AMSE and search for the most effective cutoff score. The ROC curve analysis yields the area under the ROC curve of 0.98 which represents excellent diagnostic accuracy. Findings indicate the optimal cutoff score of the Chinese version of the AMSE was estimated as 6, producing the highest sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 87%. Preliminary findings of the study suggest the AMSE has promising psychometric properties as an assessment tool for identifying ASD symptoms and supporting diagnostic decision-making in high-risk Chinese children population.
