In certain embodiments, the invention stems from the discovery that analysis of population distribution curves of metabolite levels in blood can be used to facilitate predicting risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or to differentiate between ASD and non-ASD developmental delay (DD) in a subject. In certain aspects, information from assessment of the presence, absence, and/or direction (upper or lower) of a tail effect in a metabolite distribution curve is utilized to predict risk of ASD and/or to differentiate between ASD and DD.

Methods are described herein for small molecule biochemical profiling of an individual subject for diagnosis of a disease or disorder, facilitating diagnosis of a disease or disorder, and/or identifying an increased risk of developing a disease or disorder in the individual subject. Aberrant levels of small molecules present in a sample from an individual subject are identified and diagnostic information relevant to the individual subject is obtained based on the identified aberrant levels. The obtained diagnostic information includes one or more of an identification of at least one biochemical pathway associated with the identified subset of the small molecules having aberrant levels, an identification at least one disease or disorder associated with the identified subset of the small molecules having aberrant levels, and an identification of at least one recommended follow up test associated with the identified subset of the small molecules having aberrant levels.

A specific type of digestibility in a companion animal can be improved by adjusting the diet of the animal to increase the amount of a compound which positively or negatively modulates the specific type of digestibility or adjusting the diet of the animal to decrease the amount of a compound which positively or negatively modulates the specific type of digestibility. The specific type of digestibility can be one or more of organic matter digestibility, dry matter digestibility, fiber digestibility, energy digestibility, fat digestibility, or protein digestibility.
