myelin basic protien

[Guest guest]

My son's blood test results from DR. Singh just came back and he tested

positive myelin basic protien. Does anyone know what this means?

Jan, Dr. Singh is testing for autoantibodies. Here's a little blurb of his

info and website.

Cheryl

Brain autoantibodies: this test detects antibodies to two brain proteins,

namely the myelin basic protein (MBP) and neuron-axon filament proteins

(NAFP). The incidence of MBP antibody in the autistic population (70%

positive) is over twenty times higher than that of the normal population (3%

positive); hence, it serves as a primary marker of the autoimmune reaction

in autism. In contrast, the incidence of NAFP antibody in autistic patients

(55% positive) is only about twice that of normal controls (27% positive),

making it a secondary marker of autoimmunity in autism. It is, however,

recommended that the two markers be tested simultaneously.
