Overview of studies using the DNSB collection

Reference	Bio-collection	Samples	Number	Study	Findings
[136]	DNSB	DBSS	1100 subjects	Chemokine analysis	Analysis of crude estimates showed decreased levels of RANTES. Adjusted estimates showed no significance amongst 3 chemokines studied (RANTES, MCP-1, MIP-1A). Cautious suggestion of altered immunity in neonatal period amongst ASD patients
[96]	DNSB	DBSS	1200 subjects	Cytokine analysis	Suggestive evidence of decreased levels of certain th-1 and th-2 like cytokines in newborns later diagnosed with ASD.
[136]	DNSB	DBSS	1029 subjects	Neurotropic factor analysis	Decreased level of neurotropic factors found in ASD patients during Neonatal period
