Table 3. Significant behavioral associations for children with and without IgG reactivity towards the 45 kDa protein.
For the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC), a higher score corresponds to more behavioral impairments. For the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) and Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS), a lower score corresponds to more cognitive and adaptive impairments. Data displayed as mean test score (standard deviation).
