The present invention is directed to a method of identifying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) phenotype 1 patients, wherein the method comprises: administering an Nrf2-activator to an ASD patient previously diagnosed with idiopathic ASD or a subject displaying clinical signs of ASD, and identifying the ASD patient as an ASD phenotype 1 patient if the patient shows a negative response after administration of the Nrf2-activator. Likewise, the present invention is directed to a method for classifying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) phenotype 1 patients, the method comprising: administering an Nrf2-activator to a subject, and observing if the subject shows a negative response after administration of the Nrf2-activator, in which the subject is a patient previously diagnosed with idiopathic ASD or a subject displaying clinical signs of ASD and in which the negative response supports classification of the subject as an ASD phenotype 1 patient.
本发明涉及一种鉴定自闭症谱系障碍(A
SD)表型1患者的方法,其中该方法包括:给先前诊断为特发性A
SD的A
SD患者或显示A
SD临床症状的受试者施用Nrf2-激活剂,如果患者在施用Nrf2-激活剂后显示出负反应,则将该A
SD患者鉴定为A
SD表型1患者。同样,本发明还涉及一种对自闭症谱系障碍(A
SD)表型1患者进行分类的方法,该方法包括:给受试者施用Nrf2-激活剂,观察受试者在施用Nrf2-激活剂后是否表现出阴性反应,其中受试者是先前诊断为特发性A
SD的患者或表现出A
SD临床症状的受试者,阴性反应支持将受试者分类为A
SD表型1患者。
