FRAT IgG & Autism

Screen for folate receptor autoantibodies that may affect folate transport to the brain and cerebrospinal fluid. Early identification can support more informed clinical decisions and timely care planning.

Baseline Evaluation

What is FRAT IgG?

FRAT IgG is a vital blood test that screens for Folate Receptor Autoantibodies, which hinder the proper transport of essential folate (vitamin B9) to the brain and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). This deficiency can contribute to Cerebral Folate Deficiency Syndrome, among other neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Diagnostic Tests

Why FRAT IgG in Autism?

A large percentage of children with Autism have been found to have Folate Receptor Autoantibodies. FRAT IgG will confirm the presence of these autoantibodies, which suggests that not enough folate (vitamin B9) is being transported into the brain.
