Folate Receptor Autoantibody Test (FRAT)
FRAT Analysis – New Hope for Children with Autism In a recent medical discovery, scientists have learned that some children with autism have immune systems that produce antibodies preventing folate from reaching the brain. This means that even if folic acid levels are normal, the brain doesn't benefit from it! This is what we call functional folate deficiency, not quantitative folate deficiency. The FRAT analysis from Delta Laboratories detects this deficiency with high accuracy. When the result is positive, the doctor can start a special treatment called folinic acid, which recent studies have shown significantly helps children with autism improve their communication and cognitive skills.
