Table 1.

Plasma IL-23 and IL-17 levels from subjects with autism and typically developing subjects. Median values plus inter quartile ranges of IL-23 and IL-17 plasma levels are shown from children diagnosed with Early onset autism (AU), Regressive AU, combined AU subjects, and typically developing (TD) subjects. IL-23 levels were significantly different between Early onset AU and typically developing subjects using Student's t-test

	Early onset AU (n=20)	Regressive AU (n=20)	Combined AU subjects (n=40)	Typically Developing (n=20)
Median IL-23 (pg mL−1)	4.25**	5.78	5.05*	12.48
(Q1-Q3)	(2.82-10.33)	(4.01-14.81)	(3.51-11.16)	(3.79-17.15)
Median IL-17 pg mL−1	1.32	1.78	1.37	1.81
(Q1-Q3)	(1.01- 1.74)	(1.10- 2.56)	(1.06- 2.36)	(1.27- ,2.18)
