Erythrocyte Shape Abnormalities, Membrane Oxidative Damage, and β-Actin Alterations: An Unrecognized Triad in Classical Autism by Lucia Ciccoli, Claudio De Felice, Eugenio Paccagnini, Silvia Leoncini, Alessandra Pecorelli, Cinzia Signorini, Giuseppe Belmonte, Roberto Guerranti, Alessio Cortelazzo, Mariangela Gentile, Gloria Zollo, Thierry Durand, Giuseppe Valacchi, Marcello Rossi, Joussef Hayek

“…Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a complex group of neurodevelopment disorders steadily rising in frequency and treatment refractory, where the search for biological markers is of paramount importance. Although red blood cells (RBCs) membrane lipidomics and rheological variables have been reported to be altered, with some suggestions indicating an increased lipid peroxidation in the erythrocyte membrane, to date no information exists on how the oxidative membrane damage may affect cytoskeletal membrane proteins and, ultimately, RBCs shape in autism. …”
